Abstract

Finite automata with weights in the max-plus semiring are considered. The main result is: it is decidable in an effective way whether a series that is recognized by a finitely ambiguous max-plus automaton is sequential. A collection of examples is given to illustrate the hierarchy of max-plus series with respect to ambiguity.
