One further result on the asymptotic geometry of Hilbert's metric is obtained with corollaries for the behavior of geodesics. Finally we prove that every geodesic ray in a Hilbert geometry converges to a point of the boundary.11 pages, 3 figuresMetric GeometryDifferential Geometry51Kxx, 53C60Hilbert metrics and Minkowski normstext
