MATHEMATICS 3103 (Functional Analysis)YEAR 2012 2013, TERM 2 HANDOUT #2: Compactness OF metric SPACESC ompactness in metric spacesThe closed intervals [a, b] of the real line, and more generally the closed bounded subsetsofRn, have some remarkable properties, which I believe you have studied in your course inreal analysis. For instance:Bolzano Weierstrass bounded sequence of real numbers hasa convergent can be rephrased as:Bolzano Weierstrass theorem (rephrased).LetXbe any closed boundedsubset of the real line. Then any sequence (xn) of points inXhas a subsequenceconverging to a point ofX.(Whyis this rephrasing valid? Note that this property doesnothold ifXfails to be closedor fails to be bounded why?) And here is another example:Heine Borel covering of a closed interval [a, b] or moregenerally of a closed bounded setX R by a collection of open sets has afinite theorems are not only interesting they are also extremely useful in applications, aswe shall see.
