Let $(mathcalX,d) $ be a compact and metric space and let $A subset mathcalX$ be a compact subset and let $alpha >0 $. Consider the set
$$
C(A, alpha) = x in mathcalX ,
$$
How to prove or disprove that $C(A, alpha) $ is compact?



Thanks in advance.

          The set $C(A,alpha)$ is closed because the function$$beginarrayrcccDeltacolon&mathcalX&longrightarrow&mathbb R\&a&mapsto&d(a,A)endarray$$is continuous and $C(A,alpha)=Delta^-1bigl([0,alpha]bigr)$.



          Now, use the fact that a closed subset of a compact metric space is always compact.

          • Dear @José Carlos Santos ,Why $C(A,alpha)$ is closed?. So far I know $C(A,alpha)$ is an uncontable sum of closed balls. But any uncontable sum of closed balls not necessary it closed.
