The Tropical Analogue of Polar Cones
We study the max-plus or tropical analogue of the notion of polar: the polar of a cone represents the set of linear inequalities satisfied by its elements. We establish an analogue of the bipolar theorem, which characterizes all the inequalities satisfied by the elements of a tropical convex cone. We derive this characterization from a new separation theorem. We also establish variants of these...
متن کاملStability analysis of Newtonian polytropes
We analyze the stability of Newtonian polytropic static fluid spheres, described by the Lane-Emden equation. In the general case of arbitrary polytropic indices the Lane-Emden equation is a non-linear second order ordinary differential equation. By introducing a set of new variables, the Lane-Emden equation can be reduced to an autonomous system of two ordinary differential equations, which in ...
متن کاملStability of Polytropes
This paper is an investigation of the stability of some ideal stars. It is intended as a study in General Relativity, with emphasis on the coupling to matter, eventually aimed at a better understanding of very strong gravitational fields and “Black Holes”. This contrasts with the usual attitude in astrophysics, where Einstein’s equations are invoked as a refinement of classical thermodynamics a...
متن کاملTropical polar cones, hypergraph transversals, and mean payoff games
We discuss the tropical analogues of several basic questions of convex duality. In particular, the polar of a tropical polyhedral cone represents the set of linear inequalities that its elements satisfy. We characterize the extreme rays of the polar in terms of certain minimal set covers which may be thought of as weighted generalizations of minimal transversals in hypergraphs. We also give a t...
متن کاملThe Tropical Degree of Cones in the Secondary Fan
Abstract. Given a lattice polytope, the secondary fan is a combinatorial structure on the space of all tropical polynomials supported on the polytope. We consider rationally weighted formal sums of cones in the secondary fan as an approximation to a tropical variety. By using tropical intersection theory, we are able to intersect these formal sums with point-condition-imposing hyperplanes. Form...
