We show that we can obtain such tropical balls via linear programming. Then we apply minimum enclosing and maximum inscribed tropical balls of any given tropical polytope to estimate the volume of and sample uniformly from the tropical polytope.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.02539v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.02539v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"maximum-inscribed-and-minimum-enclosing","repo_url":"https://github.com/barnhilldave/tropical-balls","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
