Abstract:
We study and compare two notions of non-termination on
idempotent semirings: infinite iteration and divergence. We determine
them in various models and develop conditions for their coincidence. It
turns out that divergence yields a simple and natural way of modelling
infinite behaviour, whereas infinite iteration shows some anomalies.
