Abstract
We continue to study one of the classic problems in general topology raised by P. S. Alexandrov: when a Hausdorff space X has a continuous bijection (a condensation) onto a compactum? We concentrate on the situation when not only X but also \(X\setminus Y\) can be condensed onto a compactum whenever the cardinality of Y does not exceed certain \(\tau\).
