Eric K. van Douwen, Collected Papers

Eric Karel van Douwen died on July 28, 1987. His obituary appeared in Topology and its Applications, 31 (1989), pages 1-18. Eric Karel van Douwen was a world figure in General Topology. His work is still prominent and ranges from Boolean algebras and topological groups to set theoretic topology. In the present volumes the reader finds all his published papers. Eric Karel van Douwen posed many questions in his papers, some of which were solved. The open problems are collected in Chaper 4 together with any new information available. Eric van Douwen worked in the following reasonably well-defined areas:Cardinal functionsČech-Stone compactificationsTopological groupsGeneralized metrizabilityCompact spaces, Boolean algebras and F-spacesSimultaneous extension of continuous functionsBox productsMeasuresOrdered spacesMiscellaneous.
