    On well-quasi-ordering infinite trees---Nash-Williams's theorem revisited (English)
    0 references
    This paper gives a new proof of a result of Nash-Williams stating that the infinite trees are well-quasi-ordered. By combining several ideas, especially topological ideas (Ellentuck topology), the author gives a proof both shorter and self-contained.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe article is well written, nevertheless it suffers of a lack of clarity of both Ellentuck topology and Ramsey theory.
