A closed, totally bounded subset of a complete metric space is sequentially compact and compact.
In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let be a complete metric space, let be the collection of subsets of that are open in , a topology on by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and let be closed in and totally bounded in . Then the following hold.
1. (Sequential compactness) is sequentially compact in : every sequence in has a subsequence converging in to a point of .
2. (Compactness) is compact in .
