Abstract: In this paper we address a problem posed by Shelah in 1999 to find a suitable notion for superstability for abstract elementary classes in which limit models of cardinality $mu$ are saturated. Theorem 1. Suppose that $mathcalK$ is a $chi$-tame abstract elementary class with no maximal models satisfying the joint embedding property and the amalgamation property. Suppose $mu$ is a cardinal with $$. Let $M$ be a model of cardinality $mu$. If $mathcalK$ is both $chi$-stable and $mu$-stable and satisfies the $mu$-superstability assumptions, then any two $mu$-limit models over $M$ are isomorphic over $M$. Moreover, we identify sufficient conditions for superlimit models of cardinality $mu$ to exist, for model homogeneous models to be superlimit, and for a union of saturated models to be saturated.
