Proof of A Compact Subset of a Metric Space is Sequentially Compact
corollarycor:compact-implies-sequentially-compact-metric-2026bLet be a sequence in with for every .
Since is compact in , Every Sequence in a Compact Subset of a Metric Space Has a Cluster Point There provides a point that is a cluster point of in .
By Existence of a Sequence of Positive Real Numbers with Limit Zero there is a sequence of real numbers with for every and with limit .
Apply A Cluster Point of a Sequence in a Metric Space is the Limit of a Subsequence to the cluster point with . Claim 1 of that theorem yields a strictly increasing sequence in , in the sense of Subsequence of a Sequence in a Set, with for every ; and since has limit , claim 2 of that theorem shows that the subsequence converges to in .
Thus for every sequence in with values in there are a point and a subsequence converging to , which is exactly the requirement of Sequentially Compact Subset of a Metric Space. Hence is sequentially compact in .
