A set is said to be connected if it does not have any disconnections.
This, in particular, shows that for any set, there is always a metric space associated to it. A disconnection of a set a in a metric space x,d consists of two nonempty sets a 1, a 2 whose disjoint union is a and each is open relative to a. A subset of a complete metric space is totally bounded if and only if it is relatively compact meaning that its closure is compact.

In an intuitionistic fuzzy metric space every compact set is closed and ifbounded. Schep in this note we shall present a proof that in a metric space x. A metric space is just a set x equipped with a function d of two variables which measures the distance between points. Denition theclosureof a, denoted a, is the smallest closed set containing a alternatively, the intersection of all closed sets containing a. Reasonably, we want to repair this situation, and in as economical way as possible. In in nite dimensional normed spaces, it is true all compact sets are closed and bounded, but the converse fails in general.
Completions a notcomplete metric space presents the di culty that cauchy sequences may fail to converge. In this section we will consider xbeing g, where is gbe a bounded, open set in rn.

In what follows the metric space x will denote an abstract set, not neces sarily r or rn. A metric space is sequentially compact if every sequence has a convergent subsequence. Relatively compact subspace, a subset whose closure is compact.
Generally speaking, the hausdorff dis tance compares the distance of two compact sets in the same metric space, while gromovhausdorff. So now my question is narrowed down to whether total boundedness and cauchy sequential compactness are equivalent in both metric spaces and uniform spaces. A pair, where is a metric on is called a metric space. A metric space is, essentially, a set of points together with a rule for saying how far apart two such points are. Using this metric, any point is an open ball, and therefore every subset is open and the space has the discrete topology.
These observations lead to the notion of completion of a metric space. A metric space is separable if and only if it is homeomorphic to a totally bounded metric space.
