Example 162.1.
f5a704If 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 .
