Abstract
We introduce the notion of functional extension of a set X, by means of two natural algebraic properties of the operator “�” on unary functions. We study the connections with ultrapowers of structures with universe X, and we give a simple characterization of those functional extensions that correspond to limit ultrapower extensions. In particular we obtain a purely algebraic proof of Keisler’s characterization of nonstandard (= complete elementary) extensions.
