Cauchy Sequence in a Metric Space

Defines Cauchy sequences in a metric space: terms with large enough indices are arbitrarily close to one another.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness, let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, and let (xm)m∈N(x_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in XX.

(xm)(x_{m}) is a Cauchy sequence in (X,d)(X,d) if for every real number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there is N∈NN\in\mathbb{N} with d(xm,xℓ)<εd(x_{m},x_{\ell})<\varepsilon for all m,ℓ∈Nm,\ell\in\mathbb{N} with m≥Nm\ge N and ℓ≥N\ell\ge N.
