I think the problem happens as 0.0 not equal to 0.
You are right. Most shells (with the notable exception of ksh93) only have integers as a data type but not floats. Therefore "0.0" is interpreted as a string but -gt (and similar operands like -ge, -eq, -lt, -le) expects integers and nothing else. i.e test 0 -eq abc will lead to the same error.

Second, the ps command seems not to do what you probably intend it to do. ps -uax displays all processes run by a user named "ax". Notice that there is a difference between BSD-style ps and UNIX-SystemV (or POSIX-) style ps. Most implementations understand both sorts of syntax and because in BSD the ps-options were not introduced by dashes if you use dashes the options are interpreted in POSIX-syntax and if you don't they are interpreted in BSD-style. i.e:
Note that some versions of ps, when no user named "x" exists, second-guess the intention and execute as they had been called like ps aux instead. Needless to say that one better not relies on such if i say a you will do as if i had said b because in reality i might mean c ... tactics.
With the correct syntax, though, you could also get rid of the
