Why is it that if for every bounded sequence we can find a convergent subsequence (in a normed vector space) then every Cauchy sequence converges (in this normed space)? Thanks.

    In the metric generated by the nomr ||.|| , i.e., d(x,y):=||x-y||, compactness is equivalent to every sequence having a convergent subsequence. And a compact metric space is complete.2011-11-10

    A Cauchy sequence is bounded, then continue as in the case of the real numbers: if a Cauchy sequence has a convergent subsequence, then the whole sequence converges.2011-11-10
