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. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
