The tropical halfspace characterization conjecture for pure full-dimensional polytopes
The tropical halfspace characterization conjecture for pure full-dimensional polytopes
Let be a tropical polytope. A halfspace description of is a description as an intersection of tropical halfspaces, and the apex of each halfspace is its distinguished point. The tropical semiring is . Call the apices in general position when they satisfy the source's general-position condition.
Tropical halfspace characterization conjecture. A tropical polytope is pure and full dimensional if and only if it has a halfspace description whose apices are in general position with respect to the tropical semiring .
This conjecture proposes an intrinsic halfspace characterization of purity and full dimensionality for tropical polytopes. The supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence.
