[hide]Theorem statement
Given a metric space (X,d), the following are equivalent[1][Note 1]:
- X is compact
- Every sequence in X has a subsequence that converges (AKA: having a convergent subsequence)
- X is totally bounded and complete
Proof
[Expand]
1)⟹2): X is compact ⟹ ∀(an)∞n=1 ∃ a sub-sequence (akn)∞n=1 that coverges in X
