Abstract

Let λ be a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality ν. Under various assumptions about the sizes of covering families for cardinals below λ, we prove upper bounds for the covering number COV(λ. λ. ν+. 2). This covering number is closely related to the cofinality of the partial order ([λ]ν. ⊆).
