Informally, 3 and 4 say, respectively, that cis closed under. A metric space x is sequentially compact if every sequence of points in x has a convergent subsequence converging to a point in x. Introduction let x be an arbitrary set, which could consist of vectors in rn, functions, sequences, matrices, etc. This is a basic introduction to the idea of a metric space. In the case of metric spaces, the compactness, the countable compactness and the sequential compactness are equivalent. But what is the conceptual foundation of the limit.

In general metric spaces, the boundedness is replaced by socalled total boundedness. If the subset f of cx,y is totally bounded under the uniform metric corresponding to d, then f is equicontinuous under d. Metric geometry a metric on a set x is a function d. The axiomatic description of a metric space is given. This is an isometry when r is given the usual metric and r2 is given the 2dimensional euclidean metric, but not.

A metric space is a pair x,d consisting of a set x and a metric d on x. Here d is the metric on x, that is, dx, y is regarded as the distance from x to y. Metric spaces, topological spaces, and compactness 253 given s. Turns out, these three definitions are essentially equivalent. If x,d is a metric space and a is a nonempty subset of. The most familiar is the real numbers with the usual absolute value. In chapter 2 we learned to take limits of sequences of real numbers. I introduce the idea of a metric and a metric space framed within the context of rn. A metric space is just a set x equipped with a function d of two variables which measures the distance between points. There are many ways to make new metric spaces from old.

And in chapter 3 we learned to take limits of functions as a real number approached some other real number. Ais a family of sets in cindexed by some index set a,then a o c. Continuity, contractions, and the contraction mapping principle 4 acknowledgments 6 references 6 1. Generalized nmetric spaces and fixed point theorems. N such that dx m,x n metric spaces lecture notes for ma2223 p.

The following properties of a metric space are equivalent. Moreover the concepts of metric subspace, metric superspace, isometry i. It is also sometimes called a distance function or simply a distance often d is omitted and one just writes x for a metric space if it is clear from the context what metric is being used we already know a few examples of metric spaces. The book goes on to provide a thorough exposition of all the standard necessary results of the theory and, in addition, includes selected topics not normally found in introductory books, such as. Cambridge core abstract analysis metric spaces by e. In these, the distance function is defined by a norm.

For metric spaces it can be shown that both notions are equivalent, and in this course we will restrict ourselves to the sequential compactness definition given above. Norms and metrics, normed vector spaces and metric spaces. Gahler 3,4 introduced the concept of 2metric as a possible generalization of usual notion of a metric space. Real analysismetric spaces wikibooks, open books for an. In the next two chapters, we will look at two important special cases of metric spaces, namely normed linear spaces and inner product spaces. It helps to have a unifying framework for discussing both random variables and stochastic processes, as well as their convergence, and such a framework is provided by metric spaces. X y between metric spaces is continuous if and only if f.

This approach leads to the idea of a metric space, first suggested by m. These questions are subsumed by computing simulation hemimetrics between 1 and. But as we will see in examples it is often possible to assign different metrics to. Paper 2, section i 4e metric and topological spaces. A metric space x is compact if every open cover of x has a. The equivalence between closed and boundedness and compactness is valid in nite dimensional euclidean. Summer 2007 john douglas moore our goal of these notes is to explain a few facts regarding metric spaces not included in the. If the underlying metric space is an open subset of a euclidean space, we obtain a natural chain monomorphism from general metric currents to. Wesaythatasequencex n n2n xisacauchy sequence ifforall0 thereexistsann. Y continuous if and only if, for every cauchy sequence fx igin x converging to x2x, lim i fx i f lim i x i proof. Introduction when we consider properties of a reasonable function, probably the.

A sequence x n in x is called a cauchy sequence if for any. Metric spaces are first countable since one can use balls with rational radius as a neighborhood base. The metric topology on a metric space m is the coarsest topology on m relative to which the metric d is a continuous map from the product of m with itself to the nonnegative real numbers. Although strictly speaking the metric space is the pair x, d it is a common practice to refer to x itself as being the metric space, if the metric d is understood from context. A metric space is a pair x, d, where x is a set and d is a metric on x. Normed vector spaces and metric spaces were going to develop generalizations of the ideas of length or magnitude and distance. Metricandtopologicalspaces university of cambridge. An open set in a metric space may be the union of many such sets.

Here we can think of the fr as a copy of r living inside of r2. It is not hard to check that d is a metric on x, usually referred to as the discrete metric. In addition, goebel and kirk 30 studied some iterative processes for nonexpansive mappings in the hyperbolic metric space, and in 1988, xie. In mathematics, a metric space is a set together with a metric on the set. Well generalize from euclidean spaces to more general spaces, such as spaces of functions. Let x be a topological space and let y,d be a metric space. It turns out that sets of objects of very different types carry natural metrics. First, suppose f is continuous and let u be open in y. Metric spaces, topological spaces, and compactness 255 theorem a. As metric spaces one may consider sets of states, functions and mappings, subsets of euclidean spaces, and hilbert spaces. Lecture 3 complete metric spaces 1 complete metric spaces 1. The properties of the banach spaces and metric spaces studied in the ribe program. Also recal the statement of lemma a closed subspace of a complete metric space is complete.

It follows that pis an accumulation point of sif and only if each bp. This volume provides a complete introduction to metric space theory for undergraduates. Then d is a metric on r2, called the euclidean, or. Metric spaces are generalizations of the real line, in which some of the theorems that hold for r. Metric space topology, as the generalization to abstract spaces of the theory of sets of points on a line or in a plane, unifies many branches of classical analysis and is necessary introduction to functional analysis.

Recall that every normed vector space is a metric space, with the metric dx. A of open sets is called an open cover of x if every x. Nearly all the concepts we discuss for metric spaces are natural generalizations of the corresponding concepts for r with this absolutevalue metric. It covers the topology of metric spaces, continuity, connectedness, compactness and product spaces, and includes results such as the tietzeurysohn extension theorem, picards theorem on ordinary differential equations, and the set of discontinuities of the pointwise limit of a.

Metric spaces joseph muscat2003 last revised may 2009 a revised and expanded version of these notes are now published by springer. As for the box metric, the taxicab metric can be generalized to rnfor any n. We then have the following fundamental theorem characterizing compact metric spaces. The above two nonstandard metric spaces show that \distance in this setting does not mean the usual notion of distance, but rather the \distance as determined by the.
