A limit set trichotomy for self-mappings of normal cones in banach spaces (Q4039281)

In a recent paper Krause and Ranft explored conditions on self-mappings \(T\) of the positive orthant \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) which ensure that the following trichotomy holds. Either: (i) for every nonzero \(x\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\) the orbit \(\gamma^+ (x)\equiv \bigcup^\infty_{j=0} T^j x\) is an unbounded set; or (ii) for every \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n_+\), \(\lim_{j\to\infty} T^j x=0\); or (iii) there exists a unique fixed point \(x_0\) of \(T\) in the interior of \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\) such that \(\lim_{j\to \infty} T^j x= x_0\) for all nonzero \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n_+\). In this paper we extend the above trichotomy in two directions. First, we allow general normal cones \(K\) with nonempty interior in a Banach space. Second, we allow a class of maps which is considerably more general than classes allowed in earlier results, even for \(K\), the positive orthant in \(\mathbb{R}^n\).
