A theorem on sequentiality and compactness, with its fuzzy extension (Q581868)

The weaker property of sequentiality is often able to replace first countability in topological theorems. The well-known fact that in a \(C_ 1\)-space countable compactness implies sequential compactness has twice been considered in this light by Franklin. The author points out errors in both of Franklin's versions of the theorem and provides the correct formulation, namely that sequential compactness is implied in a \(T_ 1\)- space by weak countable compactness and sequentiality. Using quasi- coincidence and \(\alpha\)-compactness a fuzzy version of this result is formulated.
