Dense Set - Density in Metric Spaces

Density in Metric Spaces

An alternative definition of dense set in the case of metric spaces is the following. When the topology of X is given by a metric, the closure of A in X is the union of A and the set of all limits of sequences of elements in A (its limit points),

Then A is dense in X if

Note that . If is a sequence of dense open sets in a complete metric space, X, then is also dense in X. This fact is one of the equivalent forms of the Baire category theorem.

    through the spaces of the dark
    Midnight shakes the memory
    As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
