An analogue of Fekete's lemma for subadditive functions on cancellative amenable semigroups

We prove an analogue of Fekete’s lemma for subadditive right-subinvariant functions defined on the finite subsets of a cancellative left-amenable semigroup. This extends results previously obtained in the case of amenable groups by E. Lindenstrauss and B. Weiss and by M. Gromov.
