Attention people coming in from search engines: this is a sub-page, you want Equivalent statements to compactness of a metric space

Statement of theorem

Given a metric space [ilmath](X,d)[/ilmath], the following are equivalent[1][Note 1]:

  1. [ilmath]X[/ilmath] is compact
  2. Every sequence in [ilmath]X[/ilmath] has a subsequence that converges (AKA: having a convergent subsequence)
  3. [ilmath]X[/ilmath] is totally bounded and complete

Notes

  1. To say statements are equivalent means we have one [ilmath]\iff[/ilmath] one of the other(s)
