Abstract

The Cech number of a space Z, C(Z), is the pseudocharacter of Z in βZ. In this article we obtain, in ZFC and assuming SCH, some upper and lower bounds of the  Cech number of spaces Cp(X) of realvalued continuous functions defined on an ordinal space X with the pointwise convergence topology.
