Abstract

Suppose that A is a pointed CW-complex. The paper looks at how difficult it is to construct an A-cellular space B from copies of A by repeatedly taking homotopy colimits; this is determined by an ordinal number called the complexity of B. Studying the complexity leads to an iterative technique, based on resolutions, for constructing the A-cellular approximation CWA(X) of an arbitrary space X.
