Unions of well-ordered sets
Paul Howard · Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society Series A Pure Mathematics and Statistics · 1994
Abstract In Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory weakened to permit the existence of atoms and without the axiom of choice we investigate the deductive strength of five statements which make assertions about the cardinality of the union of a well-ordered collection of sets. All five of the statements considered are consequences of the axiom of choice.
