Generical behavior of flows strongly monotone with respect to high-rank cones

Abstract

We consider a C1,αC^{1,\alpha} smooth flow in Rn\mathbb{R}^n which is "strongly monotone" with respect to a cone CC of rank kk, a closed set that contains a linear subspace of dimension kk and no linear subspaces of higher dimension. We prove that orbits with initial data from an open and dense subset of the phase space are either pseudo-ordered or convergent to equilibria. This covers the celebrated Hirsch's Generic Convergence Theorem in the case k=1k=1, yields a generic Poincar\'{e}-Bendixson Theorem for the case k=2k=2, and holds true with arbitrary dimension kk. Our approach involves the ergodic argument using the kk-exponential separation and the associated kk-Lyapunov exponent (that reduces to the first Lyapunov exponent if k=1k=1).
