Example 162.1.

If is a metric space, we can define a bounded metric

Convergence and open sets are preserved, so and are equivalent metrics. See @mathsstudent147IfMetric2020

Examples of metrics on (), , , and .

^ this is not obtained from a norm.


The -norm on (Riemann integrable functions on ) is a pseudo norm: does not imply .


Defined a topology. Set of all open sets in a metric space is a topology.

Exercise: In , fix . Show that is open in .


Proposition 162.2(Hausdorff metric).

Let be a metric space and let denote the family of all non-empty bounded closed subsets of . For , let

where . is a metric space; is called the Hausdorff metric.
