Let f \colon X → X be a continuous map on a compact metric space X and let αf, ωf and ICTf denote the set of α-limit sets, ω-limit sets and nonempty closed internally chain transitive sets respectively. We show that if the map f has shadowing then every element of ICTf can be approximated (to any prescribed accuracy) by both the α-limit set and the ω-limit set of a full-trajectory. Furthermore, if f is additionally c-expansive then every element of ICTf is equal to both the α-limit set and the ω-limit set of a full-trajectory. In particular this means that shadowing guarantees that αf=ωf=ICT(f) (where the closures are taken with respect to the Hausdorff topology on the space of compact sets), whilst the addition of c-expansivity entails αf=ωf=ICT(f). We progress by introducing novel variants of shadowing which we use to characterise both maps for which αf=ICT(f) and maps for which αf=ICT(f).
