Central to the study of $\mathbb{Z}$ actions on compact metric spaces is the $\omega$-limit set, the set of all limit points of a forward orbit. A closed set $K$ is internally chain transitive provided for every $x,y\in K$ there is an $\epsilon$-pseudo-orbit of points from $K$ that starts with $x$ and ends with $y$. It is known in several settings that the property of internal chain transitivity characterizes $\omega$-limit sets. In this paper, we consider actions of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ on compact metric spaces. We give a general definition for shadowing and limit sets in this setting. We characterize limit sets in terms of a more general internal property which we call internal mesh transitivity.
Keywords: weak incompressibility, Omega-limit set, $\omega$-limit set, internal chain transitivity., pseudo-orbit tracing property, shadowing.
