We show that if the map $f$ has shadowing then every element of $ICT_f$ can be approximated (to any prescribed accuracy) by both the $\\alpha$-limit set and the $\\omega$-limit set of a full-trajectory. Furthermore, if $f$ is additionally c-expansive then every element of $ICT_f$ is equal to both the $\\alpha$-limit set and the $\\omega$-limit set of a full-trajectory. In particular this means that shadowing guarantees that $\\overline{\\alpha_f}=\\overline{\\omega_f}=ICT(f)$ (where the closures are taken with respect to the Hausdorff topology on the space of compact sets), whilst the addition of c-expansivity entails $\\alpha_f=\\omega_f=ICT(f)$. We progress by introducing novel variants of shadowing which we use to characterise both maps for which $\\overline{\\alpha_f}=ICT(f)$ and maps for which $\\alpha_f=ICT(f)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-06T13:03:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B99", "54H20" ], "keywords": [ "limit set", "internal chain transitivity", "compact metric space", "closed internally chain transitive sets", "nonempty closed internally chain" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
