Computing tropical curves via homotopy continuation
arXiv:1408.3105 · doi:10.1080/10586458.2015.1037407
Abstract
Exploiting a connection between amoebas and tropical curves, we devise a method for computing tropical curves using numerical algebraic geometry and give an implementation. As an application, we use this technique to compute Newton polygons of -polynomials of knots.
