We continue investigations of weighted finite automata (WFA) as devices to compute real functions. Based on eigenvalues of the transition matrices of automata we provide a simple necessary condition for continuity and smoothness properties of the functions they compute. Using this condition we show that polynomials are the only smooth functions computed by WFA and that any WFA computing a polynomial of degree k must have at least k+1 states.

It is shown that the universe problem L(Ag) = A* is undecidable for 4-state finite automata A with integer weight function g on its transitions. This holds even in the case, where A is acyclic and the weighting g satisfies the unimodality condition. The language L(Ag) is defined as the set of words w for which there exists a path p of A having zero weight, that is, g(p) = 0.
