Computing tropical curves via homotopy continuation
Abstract
Exploiting a connection between amoebas and tropical curves, we devise a method for computing tropical curves using numerical algebraic geometry and give an implementation. As an application, we use this technique to compute Newton polygons of A-polynomials of knots.
