Do not be confused, people! (0, 3) is not a closed set of the metric space (R, d), but it is a closed set of the metric space ((0, 3), d), which is what the video claimed. Also, that there are Cauchy sequences that do not converge in ((0, 3), d) does not mean (0, 3) is not closed in ((0, 3), d), but that ((0, 3), d) is not complete.

6:39 How is b) a complete metric space? Because, not all cauchy sequence converge, as defined above. In this case, if epsilon is >1 then there are so many violent sequences that will be cauchy sequences, because d(x(n),x(m)) is always

Why is the set only closed? We proofed in part 4 that set is closed when all of its sequences converge to x belongs this set. Here you showed example of sequence that doesn't satisfy it, I mean (1/n), then why is it still closed?
For the Functional Analysis series there are a lot of different good textbooks out there. I find it hard to recommend a special one. You can check the one by Rudin and the one by Conway. They don't fit exactly to my course but they can complement it.

Remember that the properties of a set being closed or open only hold with respect to a given metric space in this context. What the video is saying is that (0, 3) is a closed subset of the metric space ((0, 3), d).

Hi. Thank you for sharing these videos. I'm sort of confused about whether the sequence summing terms 1/n over the positive natural numbers (is this the harmonic series ?) converges ?! Intuitively it feels like it should right because the terms in the denominator grow to inifinity but I've been reading that it does not converge. Is that true and if yes, is there an easy way to see why ?!
@@jordanfernandes581 It is easy to see why it does not converge using the integral comparison test. This is, lim 1 + 1/2 + ••• 1/(n - 1) + 1/n (n -> +♾) > lim Integral{[1, t); 1/x} (t -> +♾) = lim ln(t) - ln(1) (t -> +♾) = lim ln(t) (t -> +♾) = ♾
@@brightsideofmaths yeah but a set A is open if for every x in A, there exists an open ball centered at x that is contained in A, so in that example this is fullfilled, right?
Hiiiii :) I Think I miss something :p sequence 1/n is in X but not his limit so X is not closed or we cant apply sequential characterization cuz we dont have cauchy Space ??
You are confusing being closed with being complete. In the metric space ((0, 3), d), the set (0, 3) is closed. If the metric space being considered was (U, d), where U is some other arbitrary subset of R that included (0, 3), then (0, 3) may not be closed with respect to this metric space, but it is closed with respect to the metric space ((0, 3), d), which is precisely what the video claimed. However, the metric space ((0, 3), d) is not complete, even though (0, 3) is closed in it.
Every convergent sequence belonging to the set has there limit with inn the set. The key idea is that we restrict our space to the open interval (0,3) and consider all convergent sequence with limit between 0 and 3. In other words if the limit is not in the set then the sequence does not belong to this set we moves out from our space or the sequence is not defined to our space since the limit does not belong to the open interval therefor is the entire space (0,3) closed.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 i think the subset should be clopen close and open right?? first the subset has same range as set it own all boundary points(so its closed ), and also the open ball at any space in the subset doesnt contain element from the complement of subset .since the complement of subset = ∅.
Why is null set open? Why is (0,3) a closed set in the space ((0,3),d)? We can go any far near zero and find a finite epsilon ball and the same applies for 3 too. So, it is open on both ends. Why is it closed ? And, instead of saying that the space is not complete, why can't we say the space is just open becase 0 is not in it!?
@@brightsideofmaths can i ask you how is it possible for x=(0,3) with descret metric space to be complete ?? the sequence still converge to constant 0. but there is no 0 in our set.

Take any closed subset A of a complete metric space. Then, the set A with the same inherited metric is a complete metric space in its own right.

That is a good question. Maybe you can state the condition from part 4 again. If you state it correctly, you will understand why here it's different.
The set will be closed if we cannot leave the set from the inside using the sequences. Is this the correct way of thinking?

For showing closedness, you need to choose a convergent sequence with limit inside the set. Your sequence simply does not fulfill this requirement.
Your sequence doesnt have a limit (X = (0,3))
The sequence you chose does not have a limit in X, but this does not mean no sequence with a limit in X exists.

"Closed" is not the opposite of "open".

Why (0,3) is closed?
Every convergent sequence belonging to the set has there limit with inn the set. The key idea is that we restrict our space to the open interval (0,3) and consider all convergent sequence with limit between 0 and 3.
In other words if the limit is not in the set then the sequence does not belong to this set we moves out from our space or the sequence is not defined to our space since the limit does not belong to the open interval therefor is the entire space (0,3) closed.
(0, 3) is closed with respect to the metric space ((0, 3), d), not with respect to the metric space (R, d), which is the one we usually work with.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 i think the subset should be clopen close and open right?? first the subset has same range as set it own all boundary points(so its closed ), and also the open ball at any space in the subset doesnt contain element from the complement of subset .since the complement of subset = ∅.

And, instead of saying that the space is not complete, why can't we say the space is just open becase 0 is not in it!?
It is because the subset is the entire set and a sequence in it can't escape the set, so it is closed by definition.
All closed sets are complete but all complete sets may not be closed. Correct?
If limit is 0 then we can say that the sequence is not convergent?
No, if there is a well-defined limit, we have a convergent sequence by definition.
From an intuitive point of view, why is important that all Cauchy sequences converge?
Intuitively, Cauchy sequences are sequences that *should* converge. Therefore, spaces with this property are better to handle :)
@@brightsideofmaths can i ask you how is it possible for x=(0,3) with descret metric space to be complete ??
the sequence still converge to constant 0. but there is no 0 in our set.
@@VinVin21969 Don't forget that your sequence has to consist of members from the set X.
