Then a n is a cauchy sequence and by assumption the sequence a n has a convergent subsequence. To make space incomplete either i can change the metric or the ambient space. Then f is continuous on x iff f 1o is an open set in x whenever o is an open set in y. As each a n is closed it follows that a2\1 k1 a n and from diam a n. Often, if the metric dis clear from context, we will simply denote the metric space x. Also recal the statement of lemma a closed subspace of a complete metric space is complete. X can be joined by a continuous path of length dx,y. A metric space is a set xtogether with a metric don it, and we will use the notation x. On few occasions, i have also shown that if we want to extend the result from metric spaces to topological spaces, what kind.
