  • Proof Check: Every Cauchy Sequence is Bounded

    2 answers



I was wondering, Is there Cauchy sequence that are not bounded ? Of course, in complete spaces is not possible. I have a theorem that says that if $(A,d)$ is not complete, then $(bar A,d)$ is complete. But are there spaces s.t. indeed for all $varepsilon>0$, there is $N$ s.t. $d(x_n,x_m)<varepsilon$ for all $ngeq N$, and all $rgeq 0$, but the ball also move to $+infty $ ?

  • It is a duplicate, since it is the same argument.

No, that cannot happen. Suppose that $(x_n)_n geq 0$ is a Cauchy sequence in some metric space. By definition, there exists an integer $N geq 0$ such that for all $n,m geq N$ we have $d(x_n,x_m) leq 1$. Thus, all the points $~ n geq N$ are contained in the ball of radius 1 around $x_N$. By adding the finitely many points $x_1,dots,x_N-1$, this sequence cannot become unbounded.

    Note that $d(x_n,x_N)<epsilon$ for all $nge N$ and that only finitely many $n<N$ are to be considered beyond that.
