A compactification of a topological space X is a compact (Hausdorff) space containing a dense subspace homeomorphic with X. Since only completely regular spaces have compactifications, all spaces mentioned here will be completely regular unless the contrary is assumed explicitly. This paper is a study of properties of the sets of points which may be added to a space in compactifying it.
Henriksen et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
