The asymptotic behavior of a class of nonlinear semigroups in the Hilbert ball (Q1177029)

This article deals with the asymptotic behaviour of the nonlinear semigroup \(S(t)\) generated by a nonexpansive self-mapping \(T\) of a \(\rho\)-closed and \(\rho\)-convex subset \(C\) of the Hilbert ball equipped with the hyperbolic metric \[ \rho(x,y)=\hbox{arg tanh}[1-(1-\| x\|^ 2)(1-\| y\|^ 2)/| 1-(x,y)|^ 2]^{1/2}. \] The main result is a formula \[ \begin{multlined} \lim_{t\to\infty}\rho(S(t)x,TS(t)x)=\lim_{t\to\infty}{1\over h}\rho(S(t+h)x,S(t)x)= \\ =\lim_{t\to\infty}\rho(x,S(t)x)/t=\inf \{\rho(u,Tu):u\in\mathbb{C} \} \end{multlined} \] and its corollary for the fixed points of \(T\) and \(S\).
