Explain what it means for a metric space to be (i) compact, (ii) sequentially compact. Prove that a compact metric space is sequentially compact, stating clearly any results that you use.
Let be a compact metric space and suppose satisfies for all . Prove that is surjective, stating clearly any results that you use. [Hint: Consider the sequence for .]
Give an example to show that the result does not hold if is not compact.
