Broadly speaking, the key ingredient for tropicalization is a generalized non-Archimedean absolute value; that is, is a function defined on a commutative ring with unit that satisfies properties analogous to those of a non-Archimedean absolute value (i.e., Krull valuation), but for which we allow the target to be a commutative idempotent semiring.

In this talk we will introduce non-Krull absolute values for rings of multivariate formal power series (and their fields of fractions) which are defined in terms of Newton polyhedra and polytopes associated to their supports in $\mathbb{N}^m$. We show how to use them to study systems of classical partial algebraic differential equations from a valuative (tropical) point of view.
