Consider the Banach space m of real bounded sequences, x, with ‖ x‖ = sup k| xk|. A positive linear functional L on m is called an S-limit if L(χK) = 0 for every characteristic sequence χK of sets, K, of natural density zero. We provide regular sublinear functionals that both generate as well as dominate S-limits. The paper also shows that the set of S-limits and the collection of Banach limits are distinct but their intersection is not empty. Furthermore, we show that the generalized limits generated by translative regular methods is equal to the set of Banach limits. Some applications are also provided.
