The work in this dissertation is mainly focused on three subjects which are
essentially related to linear systems on metric graphs and its application: (1)
rank-determining sets of metric graphs, which can be employed to actually compute
the rank function of arbitrary divisors on an arbitrary metric graph, (2) a
tropical convexity theory for linear systems on metric graphs, and (3) smoothing of
limit linear series of rank one on refined metrized complex (an intermediate object
between metric graphs and algebraic curves),
