The generic limit set of cellular automata

Abstract: In this article, we consider a topological dynamical system. The generic limit set is the smallest closed subset which has a comeager realm of attraction. We study some of its topological properties, and the links with equicontinuity and sensitivity. We emphasize the case of cellular automata, for which the generic limit set is included in all subshift attractors, and discuss directional dynamics, as well as the link with measure-theoretical similar notions.
