The Euclidean Distance on the Real Line is the Absolute Value Metric
lemmaAnalysisTopologylem:euclidean-distance-real-line-2026aLet be the set of real numbers, let be the absolute value on , let be the metric of The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line, and let be the Euclidean distance on in the case , with identified with .
Then for all . In particular and are the same function, so a subset of is open with respect to one exactly when it is open with respect to the other, the two metrics determine the same topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and a subset of is compact with respect to one exactly when it is compact with respect to the other.
