Abstract

A self contained proof of Shelah's theorem is presented: If μ is a strong limit singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality and 2μ > μ+ then $\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\mu ^ + } \\ \mu \\ \end{array} } \right) \to \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\mu ^ + } \\ {\mu + 1} \\ \end{array} } \right)_{< cf\mu } $
