Reason: First published version: the closure of a bounded subset of Euclidean space is compact, the form of Heine-Borel needed for penalization arguments on a bounded open set.

Statement

Let nn be a natural number, let dEd_E be the Euclidean distance on Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, which is a metric by Euclidean Distance is a Metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and let TdE\mathcal{T}_{d_E} be the collection of subsets of Rn\mathbb{R}^n that are open in (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E), which is a topology on Rn\mathbb{R}^n by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology. Let ARnA\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n be bounded in (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^n,d_E).

Then the closure clRn(A)\operatorname{cl}_{\mathbb{R}^n}(A) of AA in the topological space (Rn,TdE)(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{T}_{d_E}) is compact in (Rn,TdE)(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathcal{T}_{d_E}).
