Transcribed Image Text:{Ca}a€a be a collection of subsets of X.
Cg. The collection C is an open cover
Definition. Let A be a subset of X and let C =
Then C is a cover of A if and only if A U.
of A if and only if C is a cover of A and each C, is open. A subcover c' of a cover C of
A is a subcollection of C whose elements form a cover ofA.
For instance, the open sets {(-n, n)}neN form an open cover of R. A subcover of
this cover is {(-n,n)}n>5, because these sets still cover all of R.
Definition. A space X is compact if and only if every open cover of X has a finite
subcover.
