On initials and the fundamental theorem of tropical partial differential algebraic geometry

Tropical Differential Algebraic Geometry considers difficult or even intractable problems in Differential Equations and tries to extract information on their solutions from a restricted structure of the input. The fundamental theorem of Tropical Differential Algebraic Geometry and its extensions state that the support of power series solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations (with formal power series coefficients over an uncountable algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) can be obtained either, by solving a so-called tropicalized differential system, or by testing monomial-freeness of the associated initial ideals. Tropicalized differential equations work on a completely different algebraic structure which may help in theoretical and computational questions, particularly on the existence of solutions.
