<p>Let $\langle M_i:i&lt;\theta\rangle$ be an increasing chain of Banach spaces, where each $M_i$ has density character $\mu$ (i.e.,the mininum cardinality of a dense subset of $M_i$ is $\mu$). Let $B_i\subset M_i$ be a dense subset of $M_i$ of cardinality $B_i$. Notice that $\bigcup_{i&lt;\theta}B_i$ is a dense subset of $\overline{\bigcup_{i&lt;\theta}M_i}=:M$, so $density-character(M)\le \mu$. Is it possible to prove that $density-character(M)=\mu$? Thank you.</p>

<p>If $X$ is any metric space and $Y$ is any subspace of $X$ then $dc(Y) \leq dc(X)$. </p>
