  This paper is devoted to the bounding and computation of the dimension of
deformation spaces of tropical curves and hypersurfaces. This characteristic is
interesting in light of the fact that it often coincides with the dimension of
equisingular (equigeneric etc.) deformation spaces of algebraic curves and
hypersurfaces. In this paper, we obtain a series of precise formulas, upper and
lower bounds, and algorithms for computing dimension of deformation spaces of
various classes of tropical curves and hypersurfaces.
