Popis: In functional analysis, there are different notions of limit for a bounded sequence of $$L^1$$ L 1 functions. Besides the pointwise limit, that does not always exist, the behaviour of a bounded sequence of $$L^1$$ L 1 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 nonstandard analysis, we show that for every bounded sequence $$\{z_n\}_{n \in \mathbb {N}}$$ { z n } n ∈ N of $$L^1$$ L 1 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.
