ω-limits #
For a function ϕ : τ → α → β where β is a topological space, we define the ω-limit under ϕ of a set s in α with respect to filter f on τ: an element y : β is in the ω-limit of s if the forward images of s intersect arbitrarily small neighbourhoods of y frequently "in the direction of f".
In practice ϕ is often a continuous monoid-act, but the definition requires only that ϕ has a coercion to the appropriate function type. In the case where τ is ℕ or ℝ and f is atTop, we recover the usual definition of the ω-limit set as the set of all y such that there exist sequences (tₙ), (xₙ) such that ϕ tₙ xₙ ⟶ y as n ⟶ ∞.
Notation #
The omegaLimit scope provides the localised notation ω for omegaLimit, as well as ω⁺ and ω⁻ for omegaLimit atTop and omegaLimit atBot respectively for when the acting monoid is endowed with an order.
Definition and notation #
The ω-limit of a set s under ϕ with respect to a filter f is ⋂ u ∈ f, cl (ϕ u s).

Elementary properties #
Equivalent definitions of the omega limit #
The next few lemmas are various versions of the property characterising ω-limits:
An element y is in the ω-limit set of s w.r.t. f if the preimages of an arbitrary neighbourhood of y frequently (w.r.t. f) intersects of s.
An element y is in the ω-limit set of s w.r.t. f if the forward images of s frequently (w.r.t. f) intersect arbitrary neighbourhoods of y.
An element y is in the ω-limit of x w.r.t. f if the forward images of x frequently (w.r.t. f) falls within an arbitrary neighbourhood of y.
Set operations and omega limits #
Different expressions for omega limits, useful for rewrites. In particular, one may restrict the intersection to sets in f which are subsets of some set v also in f.

ω-limits and compactness #
A set is eventually carried into any open neighbourhood of its ω-limit: if c is a compact set such that closure {ϕ t x | t ∈ v, x ∈ s} ⊆ c for some v ∈ f and n is an open neighbourhood of ω f ϕ s, then for some u ∈ f we have closure {ϕ t x | t ∈ u, x ∈ s} ⊆ n.

The ω-limit of a nonempty set w.r.t. a nontrivial filter is nonempty.

the ω-limit of a forward image of s is the same as the ω-limit of s.
