Abstract
It is a well known fact that not all max-plus automata can be determinized, i.e. transformed into deterministic max-plus automata with the same behavior. A classical sequentialization procedure, extended in the literature to max-plus automata, succeeds in computing an equivalent deterministic max-plus automaton for important subclasses of max-plus automata. This procedure is based on the normalization of state vectors in order to detect and merge states which have similar future behavior. In this paper, a novel and weaker condition is proposed that still guarantees this property. This allows for a considerable improvement of the existing determinization procedure, because it terminates for a larger class of max-plus automata.
