Homework Statement


If {[itex]S_n[/itex]} is a nest of decreasing
non-empty closed subsets of X with [itex]\lim_{n\to\infty}d(S_n)=0[/itex],
give an example of [itex]\cap_{n=1}^{\infty}S_n[/itex] which is empty!




Homework Equations



no

The Attempt at a Solution


i know X cannot be R, further reading i know that X cannot be complete. But i cannot think of an incomplete space and a suitable [itex]S_n[/itex].
