Let $(X,VertcdotVert)$ be a normed $mathbbK$-vector space and $A subset X$ be closed and bounded. My problem is how to determine whether $A$ is compact?



I know that a compact subset is always closed and bounded. And that in $mathbbR$ the converse holds due to Bolzano–Weierstraß.



But I think I am missing something. Do there exist subsets in normed vector spaces which are closed and bounded but not compact?

          Let $c_0$ denote the infinite-dimensional normed vector space consisting of sequences that converge to $0$. The norm on $c_0$ is given by:



          $$
          |(a_1,a_1,a_3,ldots)|:=sup_kinmathbbN|a_k|.
          $$



          Let $A$ denote the set of all vectors in $c_0$ of norm at most one. Clearly $A$ is bounded and it is easy to show that $A$ is closed. To see that $A$ is not compact, let, for each $xin A$, $B_1/2(x):=<1/2$. Then, $B_1/2(x):xin A$ is an open cover of $A$. To see that it has no finite subcover, let, for each $kinmathbbN$, $e_k$ denote the sequence $(0,ldots,0,1,0,ldots)$, where the $1$ is in position $k$. Since $|e_k-e_ell|=1$ if $knot=ell$, it follows that no two such vectors can belong to the same $B_1/2(x)$ for any $x$.



          Note that in general, a set in a metric space is compact if and only if it is complete and totally bounded.

              Example. The unit ball $B$ in Hilbert space $l^2$. It is closed and bounded, but not compact. Let the orthonormal unit vectors be $e_n, n=1,2,3,dots$. Then sequence $e_n$ is a sequence in $B$, but it has no convergent subsequence. This is because all the distances are $|e_n-e_m| = sqrt2$ so in fact no subsequence is even a Cauchy sequence.

                                    Example. The unit ball $B$ in Hilbert space $l^2$. It is closed and bounded, but not compact. Let the orthonormal unit vectors be $e_n, n=1,2,3,dots$. Then sequence $e_n$ is a sequence in $B$, but it has no convergent subsequence. This is because all the distances are $|e_n-e_m| = sqrt2$ so in fact no subsequence is even a Cauchy sequence.
