Developments in tropical convexity
arXiv:2405.17005
Abstract
The term "tropical convexity" was coined by Develin and Sturmfels who published a landmark paper with that title in 2004. However, the topic has much older roots and is deeply connected to linear and combinatorial optimization and other areas of mathematics. The purpose of this survey is to sketch how that article contributed to shaping the field of tropical geometry as we know it today.
