Shelah cardinal

In axiomatic set theory, Shelah cardinals are a kind of large cardinals. A cardinal \kappa is called Shelah iff for every f:\kappa\rightarrow\kappa, there exists a transitive class N and an elementary embedding j:V\rightarrow N with critical point \kappa; and V_{j(f)(\kappa )}\subset N.

A Shelah cardinal has a normal ultrafilter containing the set of weakly hyper-Woodin cardinals below it.
