Describing limits of integrable functions as grid functions of nonstandard analysis

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In functional analysis, there are different notions of limit for a bounded sequence of L1 functions. Besides the pointwise limit, that does not always exist, the behaviour of a bounded sequence of L1 functions can be described in terms of its weak-star limit or by introducing a measure-valued notion of limit in the sense of Young measures. Working in Robinson's framework of analysis with infinitesimals, we show that for every bounded sequence znninmathbbN of L1 functions there exists a function of a hyperfinite domain (i.e. a grid function) that represents both the weak-star and the Young measure limits of the sequence. This result has relevant applications to the study of nonlinear PDEs. We discuss the example of an ill-posed forward-backward parabolic equation.
