Isn't Limsup a Banach Limit?

160 Views Asked by At

Wikipedia says that we need the axiom of choice to prove that Banach Limits exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach_limit

Isn't the map $\limsup:l_\infty \to \mathbb{R}$ a Banach limit? Why would we then need the axiom of choice?

$\lim \sup$ is not linear so it is not a Banach limit.
