====== application tropical ====== This application concentrates on [[.:tropical:Hypersurface |tropical hypersurfaces]] and [[.:tropical:Polytope |tropical polytopes]]. It provides the functionality for the computation of basic properties. Visualization and various constructions are possible. imports from: * application [[.:common|common]] * application [[.:graph|graph]] uses: * application [[.:fan|fan]] * application [[.:group|group]] * application [[.:ideal|ideal]] * application [[.:matroid|matroid]] * application [[.:polytope|polytope]] * application [[.:topaz|topaz]] ===== Objects ===== ** ''[[.:tropical:CovectorLattice |CovectorLattice]]'':\\ ** ''[[.:tropical:Cycle |Cycle]]'':\\ A tropical cycle is a weighted, balanced, pure polyhedral complex. It is given as a polyhedral complex in tropical projective coordinates. To be precise: Each row of ''[[.:fan:PolyhedralComplex#VERTICES |VERTICES]]'' and ''[[.:fan:PolyhedralFan#LINEALITY_SPACE |LINEALITY_SPACE]]'' has a leading 1 or 0, depending on whether it is a vertex or a ray. The remaining n coordinates are interpreted as an element of Rⁿ modulo (1,..,1). IMPORTANT NOTE: VERTICES are assumed to be normalized such that the first coordinate (i.e. column index 1) is 0. If your input is not of that form, use ''[[.:tropical:Cycle#PROJECTIVE_VERTICES |PROJECTIVE_VERTICES]]''. Note that there is a convenience method ''[[.:tropical#thomog |thomog]]'', which converts affine coordinates into projective coordinates. ** ''[[.:tropical:Hypersurface |Hypersurface]]'':\\ Tropical hypersurface in the tropical projective torus R^d/R1. This is a special instance of a Cycle: It is the tropical locus of a homogeneous polynomial over the tropical numbers. Note: Homogeneity of the ''[[.:tropical:Hypersurface#MONOMIALS |MONOMIALS]]'' is never checked. ** ''[[.:tropical:LinesInCubic |LinesInCubic]]'':\\ This represents the result of the method ''[[.:tropical#lines_in_cubic |lines_in_cubic]]''. It contains: The tropical polynomial representing the surface, the surface itself as a Cycle and lists of lines and families of different types, each starting with LIST_... The object also has methods, starting with array_... that return the corresponding LIST_... as a perl array. The different (lists of) lines can be visualized nicely with ''[[.:tropical#visualize_in_surface |visualize_in_surface]]''. ** ''[[.:tropical:MatroidRingCycle |MatroidRingCycle]]'':\\ A matroid ring cycle is a tropical cycle which lies in the intersection ring of matroids fans. I.e. it is a linear combination of matroids fans (of the same dimension). Cycle sum and intersection are implemented through the combinatorics of the underlying matroids. Note that the set of loopfree nested matroids is a basis for this ring (e.g. as a Z-module). Hence every MatroidRingCycle is represented as a linear combination of nested matroids. The nested matroids are encoded via their maximal transversal presentations in ''[[.:tropical:MatroidRingCycle#NESTED_PRESENTATIONS |NESTED_PRESENTATIONS]]''. The corresponding coefficients are found in ''[[.:tropical:MatroidRingCycle#NESTED_COEFFICIENTS |NESTED_COEFFICIENTS]]''. ** ''[[.:tropical:Morphism |Morphism]]'':\\ A morphism is a function between cycles which is locally affine linear and respects the lattices. It is defined by a ''[[.:tropical:Morphism#DOMAIN |DOMAIN]]'', which is a cycle, and values on this domain, ''[[.:tropical:Morphism#VERTEX_VALUES |VERTEX_VALUES]]'' and ''[[.:tropical:Morphism#LINEALITY_VALUES |LINEALITY_VALUES]]'', much like ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction |RationalFunction]]''. Alternatively, it can be defined as a global affine linear function by giving a matrix and a translation vector. ** ''[[.:tropical:Patchwork |Patchwork]]'':\\ This encodes a patchworking structure on a hypersurface. ** ''[[.:tropical:Polytope |Polytope]]'':\\ A tropical polytope is the tropical convex hull of finitely many points or the finite intersection of tropical halfspaces in a tropical projective space. Many combinatorial properties depend on ''[[.:tropical:Polytope#POINTS |POINTS]]''. Note: ''[[.:tropical:Polytope#VERTICES |VERTICES]]'' are used for ''[[.:tropical:Polytope#POINTS |POINTS]]'' if the tropical polytope is initialized by INEQUALITIES. ** ''[[.:tropical:RationalCurve |RationalCurve]]'':\\ An n-marked rational curve, identified by its ''[[.:tropical:RationalCurve#SETS |SETS]]'', i.e. its partitions of {1,...,n} and its ''[[.:tropical:Hypersurface#COEFFICIENTS |COEFFICIENTS]]'', i.e. the lengths of the corresponding edges. ** ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction |RationalFunction]]'':\\ A rational function on a polyhedral complex. It can be described by giving its ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction#DOMAIN |DOMAIN]]'', a Cycle, and values on this domain - which are encoded in the properties ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction#VERTEX_VALUES |VERTEX_VALUES]]'' and ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction#LINEALITY_VALUES |LINEALITY_VALUES]]''. Alternatively, it can be defined by a tropical quotient of homogeneous tropical polynomials of the same degree i.e. by giving ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction#NUMERATOR |NUMERATOR]]'' and ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction#DENOMINATOR |DENOMINATOR]]''. A ''[[.:tropical:RationalFunction#DOMAIN |DOMAIN]]'' can be defined additionally (though one should take care that both functions are actually piecewise affine linear on the cells), otherwise it will be computed as the common refinement of the domains of affine linearity of the two polynomials. Note: This has nothing to do with common's RationalFunction (which is univariate). If you want to access that type or use this type from another application, be sure to prepend the appropriate namespace identifier. ** ''[[.:tropical:VoronoiDiagram |VoronoiDiagram]]'':\\ Voronoi diagram with respect to the tropical metric in the tropical projective torus. Its combinatorics is controlled by a ''[[.:tropical:VoronoiDiagram#POLYTROPE_PARTITION |POLYTROPE_PARTITION]]''. See P. Criado, M. Joswig, P.
