Continuity of the cone spectral radius (Q2839358)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space, \(C\subset X\) be a closed convex cone, \(f: C\to C\) be a continuous, compact and homogenous of degree one map which preserves the partial ordering induced by \(C\), and \(r_C(f)\) be the cone spectral radius of \(f\) introduced by \textit{J. Mallet-Paret} and \textit{R. D. Nussbaum} in [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 8, No. 3, 519--562 (2002; Zbl 1007.47031)]. In the paper, the authors discuss the question whether the cone spectral radius \(r_C(f)\) depends continuously on the map \(f\). By using fixed point index theory, the authors prove that, if there exists a sequence \(0<a_1<a_2<a_3<\dots\), which is not in the cone spectrum \(\sigma_C(f)\) of \(f\) such that \(\lim_{k\to \infty}a_k=r_C(f)\), then the cone spectral radius is continuous. They also present an example to show that, if such a sequence \(\{a_k\}\) does not exist, then continuity may fail.
