TropLi: a software tool for computing tropical linear spaces

Written by Felipe Rincón



TropLi is a software tool for computing tropical linear spaces of matroids represented by some integer matrix A. It is based on the algorithm presented in the paper Computing Tropical Linear Spaces by Felipe Rincón for computing the cyclic Bergman fan of a matroid. TropLi can also be used to compute some matroidal invariants of the matrix A, like its collection of bases, circuits, and its Tutte polynomial. An additional tool called TropLi_disc is available for computing the tropicalization of the A-discriminantal variety and vertices of the Newton polytope of the A-discriminant.
