Statement

Let (X,d) be a metric space and let AP(X) be an arbitrary subset of X. Then the following are all logical equivalent to each other[Note 1]:

  1. C< a,bA[d(a,b)<C] - A is bounded (the definition)
  2. xXC<aA[d(a,x)<C][1]

Proof of claims

[<collapsible-expand>]

12) (C< a,bA[d(a,b)<C])(xXC<aA[d(a,x)<C]), that boundedness implies condition 2

[<collapsible-expand>]

21) (xXC<aA[d(a,x)<C])(C< a,bA[d(a,b)<C]), that condition 2 implies boundedness

Notes
