ttukey

Description: The Teichmüller-Tukey Lemma, an Axiom of Choice equivalent. If A is a nonempty collection of finite character, then A has a maximal element with respect to inclusion. Here "finite character" means that x e. A iff every finite subset of x is in A . (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 15-May-2015)
