• Question. The fact that the metric space of real-valued functions on the unit interval with uniform metric is complete uses the fact that [0,1] is compact right? If the function space is defined on a non-compact topological space is that necessarily complete?... -Kai Xwbdsb 00:01, 20 December 2010 (EST)
  • No, the compactness of $[0,1]$ is not used. As we said in class, if $(f_{n})$ is Cauchy in the uniform metric, then for any $x$, the sequence $(f_{n}(x))$ is Cauchy in ${\mathbb {R} }$, so it has a limit. Call that limit $f(x)$; it is not hard to show that $f$ is continuous and that $f_{n}\to f$. Theorem 43.6 in Munkres is a slight generalization of this. Drorbn 07:12, 20 December 2010 (EST)
