Abstract:The class of Hausdorff spaces (or of Tychonoff spaces) which admit a Hausdorff (respectively Tychonoff) sequentially compact extension has not been characterized. We give some new conditions, in particular, we prove that every Tychonoff locally sequentially compact space has a Tychonoff one-point sequentially compact extension. We also give some results about extension of functions and about lattice properties of the family of all minimal sequentially compact extensions of a given space.
Keywords: sequentially compact extension, locally sequentially compact space, extension of functions
