Definition
Let X be a topological space and let α and β be cardinal numbers.
A family
of subsets of X is called locally < β (in X) if for every point x of X there is a neighborhood V of x such that
.
The space X is called pseudo-(α,β)-compact if no set of nonempty open subsets of X indexed by α is locally < β.
Remark
- See pseudocompact.
