Let (T,d) be a dendrite with finite branch points and f be a continuous map from T to T.Denote by ω(x,f) and P (f) the ω-limit set of x under f and the set of periodic points of f,respectively.Write Ω(x,f)={y|there exist a sequence of points xk ∈ T and a sequence of positive integers n1 < n2 < … such that limk→∞xk=x and limk→∞ fnk (xk)=y}.In this paper,we show that the following statements are equivalent:(1) f is equicontinuous.(2)ω(x,f)=Ω(x,f) for any x ∈ T.(3)∩ n=1∞ f n (T)=P (f),and ω(x,f) is a periodic orbit for every x ∈ T and map h:x → ω(x,f)(x ∈ T) is continuous.(4)Ω(x,f) is a periodic orbit for any x ∈ T.
