Assignment 4

This document contains 10 practice problems related to concepts in real analysis, such as: 1) A sequence with a minimum distance between elements cannot have a convergent subsequence. 2) A compact metric space is bounded. 3) The product of two compact metric spaces is compact under the product metric. 4) A subset of a metric space that is compact is closed. 5) Several subsets of R2 are determined to be compact or non-compact. 6) A metric space with the discrete metric is never compact. 7) Closed unit balls in l1, l2, and l∞ are not compact. 8) If two metrics on a space are equivalent and one

1. Let δ > 0. Suppose {xn }n∈Z+ is a sequence in (X, d) such that d(xi , xj ) > δ for every i ̸= j. Show that
{xn }n∈Z+ does not have any convergent subsequence.

2. Suppose (X, d) is a compact metric space. Show that (X, d) is bounded, that is, there exist a p ∈ X and
r > 0 such that X ⊆ Bd (p, r).
3. Let (X, dX ) and (Y, dY ) be two compact metric spaces. Consider the product metric space (X × Y, d)
given by

d((x1 , y1 ), (x2 , y2 )) := max{dX (x1 , x2 ), dY (y1 , y2 )}, (xi , yi ) ∈ X × Y, i = 1, 2.

Show that (X × Y, d) is compact.


4. Let (X, d) be a metric space and E ⊆ Y ⊆ X. Suppose (E, d) is compact. Show that E is closed in (Y, d)
and E is also closed in (X, d).

5. Determine whether following subsets of R2 is compact or not (w.r.t standard Euclidean metric).
(i) E = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x2 + y 2 = 1}.
(ii) Take and fix a, b ∈ R and consider the set E = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : ax + by ⩾ c}.
(iii) E = {( n1 , 0) : n ∈ N}
(iv) Any finite subset of R2 .
(v) E = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x = y 2 }.
(vi) E = {(x, y) ∈ R2 : x2 − y 2 = 1}.
6. Consider a metric space (X, d), where X is a infinite set and d is the discrete metric, that is, d(x, y) = 1
whenever x ̸= y. Show that (X, d) is never compact.
7. Consider the metric spaces (ℓp (N), dp ) for p = 1, 2, ∞. The associated metric is given by
∞
X ∞
X 1/2
d1 (x, y) = |xi − yi |, d2 (x, y) = |xi − yi |2 , d∞ (x, y) = sup{|xi − yi | : i ∈ N},
i=1 i=1

where x = (x1 , x2 , . . . , xn , . . .) and y = (y1 , y2 , . . . , yn , . . .) are two sequences in lp (N). Let Bdp (0, 1)
denotes the closed unit ball in (ℓp (N), dp ) centered at 0. Then show that Bdp (0, 1) is not compact for
each p = 1, 2, ∞. (Hint: construct a sequence {An } of points in the closed unit ball which does not have
any convergent subsequence.)
8. Let (X, d) and (X, d′ ) be two metric on X which are equivalent. Suppose that (X, d) is compact, then
show that (X, d′ ) is also compact.

9. Let (X, d) be a metric space. Assume that for each n ∈ N, there exist a finite subset of X, namely,
An = {xn,1 , xn,2 , . . . , xn,kn } such that

X ⊆ B(xn,1 , ) ∪ B(xn,2 , ) ∪ . . . ∪ B(xn,kn , ).

Let A = n∈N An . Show that A is a countable dense set in X.

10. Suppose {xn } is a Cauchy sequence in (X, d) and {xn } has a subsequence which converge to x in (X, d).
Show that the sequence {xn } also converges to x in (X, d).
