Abstract: We first give a geometric characterization of $\omega$ -limit sets. We then use this characterization to prove that the family of $\omega$ -limit sets of a continuous interval map is closed with respect to the Hausdorff metric. Finally, we apply this latter result to other dynamical systems.
