Linear and Rational Factorization of Tropical Polynomials

Already for bivariate tropical polynomials, factorization is an NP-Complete problem. In this paper, we give an efficient algorithm for factorization and rational factorization of a rich class of tropical polynomials in $n$ variables. Special families …

Computing Linear Systems on Metric Graphs

The linear system of a divisor $D$ on a metric graph has the structure of a cell complex. We introduce the anchor divisors and anchor cells in it – they serve as the landmarks for us to compute the $f$-vector of the complex and find all cells in the …

Almost-toric Hypersurfaces

An almost-toric hypersurface is parameterized by monomials multiplied by polynomials in one extra variable. We determine the Newton polytope of such a hypersurface, and apply this to give an algorithm for computing the implicit polynomial equation.
