BigObject Morphism<Addition>
from application tropical
A morphism is a function between cycles which is locally affine linear and respects the lattices. It is defined by a DOMAIN, which is a cycle, and values on this domain, VERTEX_VALUES and LINEALITY_VALUES, much like RationalFunction. Alternatively, it can be defined as a global affine linear function by giving a matrix and a translation vector.

Properties
Defining morphisms and functions
These properties are used to define morphisms or rational functions on a Cycle.
-
DOMAIN This property describes the domain of the morphism. I.e. the morphism is defined on this complex and is locally affine integral linear.
- Type:
Cycle<Addition>- from extension:
-
IS_GLOBALLY_AFFINE_LINEAR This is TRUE, if the morphism is defined on the full projective torus by a
MATRIXand aTRANSLATEThe rules do not actually check for completeness of theDOMAIN. This property will be set to TRUE, if the morphism is only defined byMATRIXandTRANSLATE, otherwise it is false (or you can set it upon creation).- Type:
- from extension:
-
LINEALITY_VALUES The vector in row i describes the function value (slope) of
DOMAIN→LINEALITY_SPACE→row(i)- Type:
- from extension:
-
MATRIX If the morphism is a global affine linear map x |→ Ax+v, then this contains the matrix A. Note that this must be well-defined on tropical projective coordinates, so the sum of the columns of A must be a multiple of the (1,..,1)-vector. If
TRANSLATEis set, but this property is not set, then it is the identity by default.- Type:
- from extension:
-
TRANSLATE If the morphism is a global affine linear map x |→ Ax+v, then this contains the translation vector v. If
MATRIXis set, but this property is not set, then it is the zero vector by default.- Type:
- from extension:
-
VERTEX_VALUES The vector at row i describes the function value of vertex
DOMAIN→SEPARATED_VERTICES→row(i). (In tropical homogenous coordinates, but without leading coordinate). More precisely, if the corresponding vertex is not a far ray, it describes its function value. If it is a directional ray, it describes the slope on that ray.- Type:

Methods
Affine and projective coordinates
These methods deal with affine and projective coordinates, conversion between those and properties like dimension that change in projective space.
-
affine_representation(Int domain_chart, Int target_chart) Computes the representation of a morphism (given by
MATRIXandTRANSLATE) on tropical affine coordinates.- Parameters:
Intdomain_chart: Which coordinate index of the homogenized domain is shifted to zero to identify it with the domain of the affine function. 0 by default.Inttarget_chart: Which coordinate of the homogenized target space is shifted to zero to identify it with the target of the affine function. 0 by default.- Returns:

Morphisms
These are general methods that deal with morphisms and their arithmetic.
-
after(Morphism g) Computes the composition of another morphism g and this morphism. This morphism comes after g.
- Parameters:
Morphismg- Returns:
- from extension:
-
before(Morphism g) Computes the composition of this morphism and another morphism g. This morphism comes before g.
- Parameters:
Morphismg- Returns:
- from extension:
-
restrict(Cycle Some) Computes the restriction of the morphism to a cycle. The cycle need not be contained in the
DOMAINof the morphism, the restriction will be computed on the intersection.- Parameters:
- Returns:
- from extension:
Visualization
These methods are for visualization.
-
VISUAL() Visualizes the domain of the morphism. Works exactly as VISUAL of WeightedComplex, but has additional option
- Options:
StringFunctionLabels: If set to “show”, textual function representations are diplayed on cones. False by default- option list
