HW 8

$\gdef\In{\subset}$

1. Determine whether following subset $S$ of metric space $X$ is (a) open or not (b) closed or not (c ) bounded or not (d) compact or not. (You may use Heine-Borel theorem for $\R^k$)

  • $X = \R$ with usual metric. $S = \Q \cap [0,1]$.
  • $X = \R^2$ with Euclidean metric. $S = \{ \vec x \in \R^2 \mid |\vec x| = 1 \}$

2. True or False, give your reasoning or give an counter-example.

  • Let $(X, d)$ be a metric space, then any finite subset $S \In X$ is closed.
  • Let $X = \Q$ with the usual metric. Then, any closed bounded subset $S \In X$ is compact.

3. (Open and closed subset are relative notion) Let $(X, d)$ be a metric space. $U \In Y \In X$ any subset. Prove that

  • If $Y$ is open relative to $X$, then $U$ is open relative to $Y$ if and only if $U$ is open relative to $X$.
  • (Optional) If $Y$ is closed relative to $X$, then $U$ is closed relative to $Y$ if and only if $U$ is closed relative to $X$.

4. Let $E \In [0,1]$ consist of those real numbers, such that the decimal expansion only contains even digits $0,2, \cdots, 8$. Is $E$ countable? Is $E$ closed in $\R$? Is $E$ compact?

5. Give examples.

  • An (infinite) countable subset in $\R$ that is compact.
  • An (infinite) countable subset $S \In \R$, such that $S \In S'$, ie, every point of $S$ is a limit point of $S$.
