Abstract

We discuss linear autonomous evolution equations on function spaces which have the property that a positive initial value leads to a solution which initially changes sign, but then becomes – and stays – positive again for sufficiently large times. This eventual positivity phenomenon has recently been discovered for various classes of differential equations, but so far a general theory to explain this type of behaviour exists only under additional spectral assumptions.
