Trying to understand the proof for the criterion of compactness in $l_p$ space

I have the following theorem about the criterion of compactness in $l_p$ space For the set $K\subset (l_p,||.||_p), p\geq 1$, following conditions are equivalent: i) $K$-totally bounded in $(l_p,||.||...

Prove that $A$ is relatively compact (or totally bounded) in $L^r(\Omega,\mu)$.

I encountered an exercise in my functional analysis course: Let $(\Omega, \Sigma, \mu)$ be a measure space, and $A\subseteq L^p (\Omega, \mu) \cap L^r (\Omega ,\mu)$, where $1\leq p <r <+\infty$...

Show that the closed unit ball in $L^2[a,b]$ is not sequentially compact.

I'm using Royden & Fitzpatrick's Real Analysis text to prep for an exam. This is one of the questions regarding the general properties of metric spaces. Let $B=\{ f \in L^2[a,b] | \space ||f||_2 ...

Why isn't $B = \{x \in l_{\infty} : \| x \|_{\infty} \leq 1 \}$ a compact metric space? [duplicate]

I have thought about an example of Cauchy sequence for which every subsequence has no limit in $B$, but I wasn't able to find one.

What set $Y$ that $C_{c}(U) \subset Y$ and $Y$ separable w.r.t. $\vert \vert \cdot \vert \vert_{\infty}$

Let $U \in \mathbb R^{d}$ open and further $C_{c}(U)$ be the space of functions with compact support. Show that $C_{c}(U)$ is separable w.r.t. $\vert\vert \cdot \vert \vert_{\infty}$, and I have been ...

Subset of metric space is bounded and closed but not compact.

We consider the set $l^1({\mathbb{N}})$ of the sequences whose associated series are absolute convergent: $$ l^{1} (\mathbb{N}) = \left\{ (x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \in \mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}} \mid \...

Unit ball in $l^{2}$ is bounded and closed but not compact.

I was told that the answer I gave to this question didn't actually show that the unit ball wasn't closed. Could someone please help me figure out how to do this? this is the original answer I gave ($S$...

Closed and bounded but not compact subset of $\ell^1$

I need to prove that $$A=\{a\in \ell^1:\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}|a_n| \le 1\}$$ is closed, bounded and not a compact subset in $\ell^1$. Boundedness is trivial, but I get stuck in the other two. Proving ...

Prove that $ A\subset \ell_1 $ is compact iff $A$ satisfies the following property

$A$ is compact iff $ A $ is bounded and, given $\epsilon > 0$, there exists $ n_0$ such that $ \sum_ {k=n}^\infty |x_k|\le\epsilon $ for all $n \geq n_0 $ and for all $ x\in A $. To prove ...
