Bounded Set

Bounded Set

In mathematical analysis and related areas of mathematics, a set is called bounded, if it is, in a certain sense, of finite size. Conversely, a set which is not bounded is called unbounded. The word bounded makes no sense in a general topological space, without a metric.

Famous quotes containing the words bounded and/or set:

    I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of
    infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The ladies understood each other, in the careful way that ladies do once they understand each other. They were rather a pair than a couple, supporting each other from day to day, rather a set of utile, if ill-matched, bookends between which stood the opinion and idea in the metaphorical volumes that both connected them and kept them apart.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
