Abstract
We prove that the cardinality of power homogeneous Hausdorff spaces $X$ is bounded by $d(X)^{\pi \chi (X)}$. This inequality improves many known results and it also solves a question by J. van Mill. We further introduce $\Delta $-power homogeneity, which leads to a new proof of van Douwen's theorem.
