On Some Aspects of Compactness in Metric Spaces

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the generalizations of the concepts from Heine-Borel Theorem and the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem to metric spaces. We show that the metric space X is compact if every open covering has a finite subcovering. This abstracts the Heine-Borel property. Indeed, the Heine-Borel Theorem states that closed bounded subsets of the real line R are compact. In this study, we rephrase compactness in terms of closed bounded subsets of the real line R, that is, the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem. Let X be any closed bounded subset of the real line. Then any sequence (xn) of the points of X has a subsequence converging to a point of X. We have used these interesting theorems to characterize compactness in metric spaces.
