Asymptotic monotonicity of the orthogonal speed and rate of convergence for semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc

We show that the orthogonal speed of semigroups of holomorphic selfmaps of the unit disc is asymptotically monotone in most cases. Such a theorem allows to generalize previous results of D. Betsakos and D. Betsakos, M. D. Contreras and S. Díaz-Madrigal and to obtain new estimates for the rate of convergence of orbits of semigroups.
