- In this paper we consider $m$ ($m \geq 1$)conjunctions of Max-atoms that is atoms of the form $\max(z,y) + r \geq x$, where the offset $r$ is a real constant and $x,y,z$ are variables. We show that the Max-atom problem (MAP) belongs to $\textsf{P}$. Indeed, we provide an algorithm which solves the MAP in $O(n^{6} m^{2} + n^{4} m^{3} + n^{2} m^{4})$ operations, where $n$ is the number of variables which compose the max-atoms. As a by-product other problems also known to be in $\textsf{NP} \cap \textsf{co-NP}$ are in $\textsf{P}$. P1: the problem to know if a tropical cone is trivial or not. P2: problem of tropical rank of a tropical matrix. P3: parity game problem. P4: scheduling problem with AND/OR precedence constraints. P5: problem on hypergraph (shortest path). P6: problem in model checking and $μ$-calculus.
