\(DC(\aleph _{1})\):  Given a relation \(R\) such that for every  subset \(Y\) of a set \(X\) with \(|Y| < \aleph_{1}\) there is an \(x \in  X\)  with \(Y \mathrel R x\), then there is a function \(f: \aleph_{1} \rightarrow  X\) such that \((\forall\beta < \aleph_{1}) (\{f(\gamma ): \gamma < b \} \mathrel R f(\beta))\).

\(DC(\omega)\) (DC), Principle of Dependent Choices: If \(S\)  is  a relation on a non-empty set \(A\) and \((\forall x\in A) (\exists y\in A)(x S y)\)  then there is a sequence \(a(0), a(1), a(2), \ldots\) of elements of \(A\) such that \((\forall n\in\omega)(a(n)\mathrel S a(n+1))\).  See Tarski [1948], p 96, Levy [1964], p. 136.

\(DCR\): Dependent choice for relations on \(\Bbb R\): If \(R\subseteq\Bbb R\times\Bbb R\) satisfies \((\forall x\in \Bbb R)(\exists y\in\Bbb R)(x\mathrel R y)\) then there is a sequence \(\langle x(n): n\in\omega\rangle\) of real numbers such that \((\forall n\in\omega)(x(n)\mathrel R x(n+1))\).
