On relative nearstandardness in IST (Q1307154)

\textit{E. I. Gordon} [Sib. Math. J. 30, No. 1, 68-73 (1989); translated from Sib. Mat. Zh. 30, No. 1, 89-95 (1989; Zbl 0697.03037)] has shown that, for some nonstandard natural number \(N\), not all points of the interval \([0,1]\) are \(N\)-nearstandard (i.e., there exists an \(x\in [0,1]\) such that there is no \(N\)-standard number \(N\)-infinitely close to \(x\)). The following question arises: Is it possible to choose a nonstandard natural number \(N\) so that each point of the interval \([0,1]\) has an \(N\)-standard part. In the article under review, it is shown that the answer to this question is negative. Moreover, it remains negative in a more general case when we replace the set of naturals by an arbitrary set of nonmeasurable cardinality and the interval by an arbitrary Hausdorff space other than a rare compact set.
