We call a topological space κ -compact if every subset of size κ has a complete accumulation point in it. Let Φ ( μ , κ , λ ) denote the following statement: μ < κ < λ = cf ( λ ) and there is { S ξ : ξ < λ } [ κ ] μ such that | { ξ : | S ξ A | = μ } | < λ whenever A [ κ ] < κ . We show that if Φ ( μ , κ , λ ) holds and the space X is both μ -compact and λ -compact then X is κ -compact as well. Moreover, from PCF theory we deduce Φ ( cf ( κ ) , κ , κ + ) for every singular cardinal κ . As a corollary we get that a linearly Lindelöf and ω -compact space is uncountably compact, that is κ -compact for all uncountable cardinals κ .

Let $\Phi (\mu ,\kappa ,\lambda )$ denote the following statement: $\mu < \kappa < \lambda = \operatorname{cf} (\lambda )$ and there is $\lbrace S_\xi : \xi < \lambda \rbrace \subset [\kappa ]^\mu $ such that $|\lbrace \xi : |S_\xi \cap A| = \mu \rbrace | < \lambda $ whenever $A \in [\kappa ]^{<\kappa }$. We show that if $\Phi (\mu ,\kappa ,\lambda )$ holds and the space $X$ is both $\mu $-compact and $\lambda $-compact then $X$ is $\kappa $-compact as well. Moreover, from PCF theory we deduce $\Phi (\operatorname{cf} (\kappa ), \kappa , \kappa ^+)$ for every singular cardinal $\kappa $. As a corollary we get that a linearly Lindelöf and $\aleph _\omega $-compact space is uncountably compact, that is $\kappa $-compact for all uncountable cardinals $\kappa $.
