Abstract

Combining ideas from two of our previous papers ([26] and [27]), we refine Arhangel'skii Theorem by proving a cardinal inequality of which this is a special case: any increasing union of strongly discretely Lindel̈of spaces without uncountable free sequences and with countable pseudocharacter has cardinality at most continuum. We then give a partial positive answer to a problem of Alan Dow on reflection of cardinality by closures of discrete sets.
