Abstract. A topological space X is called
discretely generated if for every subset A
⊂ X
we have
A =
∪
{D :
D
⊂ A
and D is a discrete subspace of X}.
We say that X is weakly discretely generated if
A
⊂ X
and A ≠
A
implies D \
A ≠ Ø
for some discrete D
⊂ A.
It is established that sequential spaces, monotonically normal
spaces and compact countably tight spaces are discretely generated.
We also prove taht every compact space is weakly discretely
generated and under the Continuum Hypothesis any dyadic
discretely generated space is metrizable.
