    Compact sets and homeomorphisms

    Hi there. I'm taking a course in analysis and I was thinking about the relation between compact sets and homeomorphism. We know that if f is an onto and one-to-one homeomorphism then it follows that for every subset K: K is compact in M <=> f(K) is compact in N Now, does this go the...

    How can you tell if a specific topological space is compact?

    eddo's thread got me thinking: How can you tell if a specific topological space is compact? It seems like it would be hard to do just starting with the definition of compactness.

    A function on a compact set is compact

    If f : U → R is continuous on U, and E ⊂ U is closed and bounded, then f attains an absolute minimum and maximum on E. How do you prove this theorem? I asked about this a while ago, but now I have a chance to redo the assignment and I need to fix my proof. I started by proving it for the 1...

    Show whether S-omega is SC, CC, LPC, or compact

    :bugeye: This is a topology question. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to prove that a topological space X is COUNTABLY compact (i.e. every COUNTABLE open cover has a finite subcover), IF AND ONLY IF, EVERY NESTED SEQUENCE of closed nonempty subsets of X has a nonempty intersection...

    Hints only please: compact iff bicompact

    I'd like hints only please. I have an analysis book and I could look up the proof myself but I'm trying to prove it myself as an exercise; so giving the full proof would be redundant as well as counterproductive to my own learning. X is a metric space. In this other book, K is compact iff...

    A compact car, mass of 725 kg, is moving at 100 km.hr.

    A compact car, mass of 725 kg, is moving at 100 km.hr. What is its momentum? At what velocity is the momentum of a larger car, mass 2175 kg, equal to that of the smaller car? this is what i have so far: p=725(100 km/hr) but i don't kno how to change km/hr into m/sec. And i don't know...
