On Some Aspects of Compactness in Metric Spaces
(AFRICAN SCIENTIFIC ANNUAL REVIEW, 2024-04-17)
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 ...
