We prove (1)β(2) and (2)β(1).
(1)β(2) Assume that A is compact in Rn. Then Compact Subset of Rn is Bounded shows that A is bounded as a subset of the metric space (Rn,dEβ), and Compact Subset of Rn is Closed shows that A is closed in Rn. Hence condition (2) holds.
(2)β(1) Assume that A is closed in Rn and bounded in the metric space (Rn,dEβ). By Bounded Subset of a Metric Space, there exist a point x=(x1β,β¦,xnβ)βRn and a real number R>0 such that
dEβ(x,y)β€R
for every y=(y1β,β¦,ynβ)βA.
We show that A is contained in a closed box. Let y=(y1β,β¦,ynβ)βA. Since
dEβ(x,y)2=i=1βnβ(yiββxiβ)2β€R2,
one has
(yiββxiβ)2β€R2
for every iβ{1,β¦,n}. Therefore
xiββRβ€yiββ€xiβ+R
for every i. Hence
AβB,
where
B={z=(z1β,β¦,znβ)βRn:xiββRβ€ziββ€xiβ+RΒ forΒ everyΒ iβ{1,β¦,n}}.
The set B is a closed box in Rn, so it is compact in Rn by Closed Box in Rn is Compact. Since A is closed in Rn, it is also closed in the subspace B. Therefore Closed Subset of a Compact Space is Compact implies that A is compact in B, hence compact in Rn.
Thus conditions (1) and (2) are equivalent.
