D.13.2.1 realizationDim

Usage:

realizationDim(I,C); where I is a homogeneous linear ideal defining the projective plane Y = V(I) and C is a list of intvectors such that each intvector represents a one-dimensional cone in the tropical fan curve whose relative realizability should be checked. This representation is done in the following way: the one-dimensional cone K is represented by a vector w whose equivalence class [w] in R^n/<1> can be written as [w] = m*[v] where [v] is the primitive generator of K and m is the weight of K.

Returns:

the dimension of the relative realization space of the tropical curve C with respect to Y, and -1 if the relative realization space is empty.

ideal I = x(1)+x(2)+x(3)+x(4);
list C = list(intvec(2,2,0,0),intvec(0,0,2,1),intvec(0,0,0,1));
//C represents the tropical fan curve which consists of the cones
//cone([(1,1,0,0)]) (with weight 2), cone([(0,0,2,1)]) (with weight 1)

realizationDim(I,C);
==> -1
