Abstract

Max-plus automata (over ℕ ∪ − ∞) are finite devices that map input words to non-negative integers or − ∞. In this paper we present (a) an algorithm allowing to compute the asymptotic behaviour of max-plus automata, and (b) an application of this technique to the evaluation of the computational time complexity of programs.
