*Cross-posted [from Math SE](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3298993/generalized-limits).* The linked question explores the concept of a "generalized limit" that assigns values to sequences which diverge in the Cauchy sense. It asks the following question: > Does there exist an "explicitly definable" generalized limit > $\operatorname{Lim} : X^\mathbb{N} \rightharpoonup X$ that is stronger > than the *linear and stable closure* of the Cauchy limit? I'd be curious to know what such a $\operatorname{Lim}$ might be. As Gerald pointed out, the concept of an [almost convergent sequence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_convergent_sequence) is relevant.
