	The following definitions and results for forms [8 M], 
	[8 N], 
	[43 Q], [126 B] through 
	[126 F] are from Keremedis [2000a].
	
		Let \((X,T)\) be a topological space. \(B\subseteq T-\{\emptyset\}\) is said to be a \(\pi\)-base for \(X\) if every non-empty element of \(T\) 
		includes an element of \(B\).
	
	
		Let \((P,\le)\) be a partially ordered set (poset).
			
				- 
					A subset \(D\subseteq P\) is set to be dense if every element of \(P\) has a lower bound in \(D\). \(D\) is said to be open 
					if it is open in the order topology.
				
 
			 	- 
					An element \(a\in P\) is said to be an atom if every pair of lower bounds of \(a\) are compatible (have a common lower bound).
				
 
				- 
					If \(P\) has no atoms it is called atomless. A pairwise incompatible subset of \(P\) is called an antichain.
				
 
				- 
					Let \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) be a denumerable family of dense open sets in \(P\). \(C=\{C_i: i\in\omega\}\), \(\bigcup C=\omega\)
					is called a matrix for \(D\) if the following three condition are satisfied:
					
						- 
							\(\forall i\in\omega\) \(C_i\) is a countable antichain in \(P\).
						
 
						- 
							\(\forall i\in\omega\), \(\forall j>i\), \(\forall c\in C_i\) there exist infinitely many \(t\in C_j\) such that \(t\le c\).
						
 
						- 
							\(\forall i\in\omega\), \(\forall j\in\omega\),all but finitely many element of \(C_j\) belong to \(D_i\).
						
 
					
				 
			
		
		
			Let \(A=\{A_i: i\in I\}\) be a family of non-empty sets.
			
				- 
					\(A\) has the strong finite intersection property, sfip if for each finite \(Q\subseteq A\), \(|\bigcap Q|\ge\omega\).
				
 
				- 
					An infinite subset \(S\) of \(A\) is a pseudo-intersection if \(|S-A_i|<\omega\) for all \(i\in I\).
				
 
			
		
	The following statements are considered:
	
		- 
			\(MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty)\): For every denumerable family \(A\) of pairwise disjoint non-empty sets, there exists a set \(C\) such that for all
			\(a\in A\), \(0<|C\cap a|\le\omega\).
		
 
		- 
			\(pseudo(\omega)\) ([126 F]) : Every denumerable family of sets having the sfip also has a
			pseudo-intersection.
		
 
		- 
			\(DP\): If \((X,T)\) is a topological space having a countable \(\pi\)-base,then for every family \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) of dense open sets of
			\(X\), there is a countable dense set \(S\subseteq X\) such that for all \(i\in\omega\) and for all but finitely many \(s\in S\), \(s\in D_i\).
			(\(DP\) is form [8 N]).
		
 
		- 
			\(DP^*\) ([126 E]): If \((X,T)\) is a topological space, then for every family 
			\(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) of dense open sets of \(X\), there is a countable dense set \(S\subseteq X\) such that for all \(i\in\omega\) 
			and for all but finitely many \(s\in S\), \(s\in D_i\).
		
 
		- 
			\(WCMC\) ([126 D]): For every denumerable family \(A\) of disjoint non-empty sets there is a 
			set \(C\subset\bigcup A\) such that for every \(a\in A\) ,\(0\le|C\cap a|<\omega\).
		
 
		- 
			\(FSCB\): Every separable first countable space \((X,T)\) has a countable \(\pi\)-base.
		
 
		- 
			\(Matrix(\omega)\): For every atomless poset \((P,\le)\) and every family \(D=\{D_i: i\in\omega\}\) of dense open subsets of \(P\), there exists a 
			matrix \(C=\{C_i: i\in\omega\}\), \(|\bigcup C|=\omega\) of \(P\) for \(D\). (\(Matrix(\omega)\) is form 
			[43 Q].)
		
 
	
	Results:
	
		- 
			\(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 126) \(\leftrightarrow MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + MC(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\) 
			(Form 360). (The conjunction \(MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + MC(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\) is form 
			[126 B].)
		
 
		- 
			\(C(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 8) \(\leftrightarrow MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + C(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\) 
			(Form 32).(The conjunction \(MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty) + C(\aleph_0,\aleph_0)\)is 
			form [8 M].)
		
 
		- 
			\(C(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 8) \(\leftrightarrow DP\) (form 
			[8 N]).
		
 
		- 
			\(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 126)\(\leftrightarrow WCMC\)
			([126 D]).
			(Clearly, \(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\to WCMC\). Let \(X=\{A_n: n\in\omega\}\) be a denumerable set of pairwise disjoint non-empty sets. For each 
			\(n\in\omega\), let \(B_n=A_0\times A_1\times\cdots\times A_n\) and let \(B=\{B_n: n\in\omega\}\). Let \(C=\{B_{n_i}: n_i\in\omega\}\) be a 
			denumerable subset of \(B\) which has a multiple choice function \(f\). The function \(f\) can be used to construct a choice function on \(A\). 
			This result was noted by K. Keremedis.)
		 
		- 
			\(WCMC\) ([126 D])\(\leftrightarrow DP^*\) 
			([126 E])\(\leftrightarrow pseudo(\omega)\) 
			([126 F]).
		
 
		- 
			\(MC(\aleph_0,\infty)\) (Form 126) \(\leftrightarrow FSCB + MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty)\).  
			(The conjunction \(FSCB +MC_{\omega}(\aleph_0,\infty)\) is form [126 C].)
		
 
		- 
			\(DC(\omega)\) (the Principle of Dependent Choices (Form 43)) \(\leftrightarrow Matrix(\omega)\)
			 (form [43 Q]).
