Theorem
A finite subset
of a topological space
is sequentially compact.
Proof
A subset
of a topological space
is sequentially compact if every sequence in
contains a subsequence which converges to a point in![]()
Let
be a finite subset of
and let
be a sequence in![]()
Since
is finite, at lease one of the elements in
say x_0 , occurs an infinite number of times, We can choose a subsequence consisting of the terms
which converges to![]()
