Abstract: In this work, we explore the relation between the tropicalization of a real semi-algebraic set $S=f_1<0,dots,f_k<0$ defined in the positive orthant and the combinatorial properties of the defining polynomials $f_1,dots,f_k$. We describe a cone that depends only on the face structure of the Newton polytopes of $f_1,dots,f_k$ and the signs attained by these polynomials. This cone provides an inner approximation of the real tropicalization, and it coincides with the real tropicalization if $S=f<0$ and the polynomial $f$ has generic coefficients. Furthermore, we show that for a maximally sparse polynomial $f$ the real tropicalization of $S=f<0$ is determined by the outer normal cones of the Newton polytope of $f$ and the signs of its coefficients. Our arguments are valid also for signomials, that is, polynomials with real exponents defined in the positive orthant.
