Regularity limit problem for singular cardinals

About 20 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda be a singular cardinal, let μ<λ\mu<\lambda, and let DD be an ultrafilter that is

(cf⁡λ)+(\operatorname{cf}\lambda)^+

-complete and (μ,κ)(\mu,\kappa)-regular for every κ<λ\kappa<\lambda. Regularity limit problem. Must DD be (μ,λ+)(\mu,\lambda^+)-regular? This asks whether the first conclusion of the relevant limit theorem remains valid when decomposability is replaced by regularity. The source presents this as a subtler problem and gives no resolution.
