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

\(DC(\omega)\) (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 \((\forall n\in\omega)(x(n)\mathrel R x(n+1))\).
