This paper studies the following question: given a piecewise-linear function, find its minimal algebraic representation as a tropical rational signomial. We put forward two different notions of minimality, one based on monomial length, the…

An algorithm is designed which decomposes a tropical univariate rational function into a composition of tropical binomials and trinomials. When a function is monotone, the composition consists just of binomials. Similar algorithms are…

We characterise functions for the dual spaces of entire functions f such that fe^{-\phi}\in L^p(\C^n,\rho^{-2}dA), 0<p\leq 1, where \phi is a subharmonic weight and \rho^{-2} is a positive function called under certain conditions…

We study the class of real-valued functions on convex subsets of R^n which are computed by the maximum of finitely many affine functionals with integer slopes. We prove several results to the effect that this property of a function can be…

A tropical polynomial in nr variables divided into blocks of r variables each, is r-symmetric, if it is invariant under the action of Sn that permutes the blocks. For r=1 we call these tropical polynomials symmetric. We can define…

The algebraic foundation of tropical polynomial algebra provides the framework for the geometric construction of the supplement and the reversal of tropical varieties, thereby inducing a duality of reduced tropical varieties; for classes of…

For a tropical univariate polynomial $f$ we define its tropical Hilbert function as the dimension of a tropical linear prevariety of solutions of the tropical Macauley matrix of the polynomial up to a (growing) degree. We show that the…

A rational function $f(x)$ is rationally summable if there exists a rational function $g(x)$ such that $f(x)=g(x+1)-g(x)$. Detecting whether a given rational function is summable is an important and basic computational subproblem that…
