Reason: First published version: totally bounded subset of a metric space, via finite epsilon-nets with centers in the ambient space; the empty net is permitted so that the empty set is totally bounded.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, and let KXK\subseteq X.

We say that KK is totally bounded in (X,d)(X,d) if for every real number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists a finite subset FXF\subseteq X such that

KaFBd(a,ε),K\subseteq\bigcup_{a\in F}B_d(a,\varepsilon),

where Bd(a,ε)B_d(a,\varepsilon) denotes the open ball in XX with center aa and radius ε\varepsilon, and where the union over the empty set is empty.
