Extract

Alexander's theorem (5) states that a topological space is compact if there is a sub-base, , for its closed sets such that every subclass of with the finite intersection property has a non-empty intersection. An analysis and extension of this is given here which has applications, inter alia, to problems concerning real-compactness (2).
