On stabilization of discrete monotone dynamical systems (Q1107087)

Let X be a strictly convex Banach lattice satisfying certain natural technical conditions, and let Y be a closed subset of X. For a mapping S:Y\(\to Y\), the positive orbit of x is \(\gamma\) \(+(x)=\{S\) n(x)\(\}\), while the positive limit set \(\omega\) (x) of x is the set of all subsequential limits of \(\{\) S n(x)\(\}\). Theorem 1. Let S:Y\(\to Y\) be strongly monotone and nonexpansive. Let \(u_ 0\in Y\), and assume \(\gamma\) \(+(u_ 0)\) is relatively compact in X. Then \(\omega (u_ 0)=\{\nu \}\) for some \(\nu\in Y\) (in general depending on \(u_ 0).\) The authors apply Theorem 1 to a semilinear parabolic initial-boundary value problem to infer convergence to periodic solutions.
