A simple algebraic characterization of nonstandard extensions

A simple algebraic characterization of nonstandard extensions

We introduce the notion of functional extension of a set $X$, by means of two natural algebraic properties of the operator “$*$” on unary functions. We study the connections with ultrapowers of structures with universe $X$, and we give a simple characterization of those functional extensions that correspond to limit …
