Sequentially Compact Subset of a Metric Space

A subset of a metric space is sequentially compact if every sequence with terms in it has a subsequence converging to a point of it.

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 K⊆XK\subseteq X.

KK is sequentially compact in (X,d)(X,d) if for every sequence (xm)m∈N(x_{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} in XX with xm∈Kx_{m}\in K for every m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N} there are a subsequence (xσ(k))k∈N(x_{\sigma(k)})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} of (xm)(x_{m}) and a point x∈Kx\in K such that (xσ(k))k∈N(x_{\sigma(k)})_{k\in\mathbb{N}} converges to xx in (X,d)(X,d).
