A filter f
is Cauchy if for every entourage r
, there exists an
s ∈ f
such that s × s ⊆ r
. This is a generalization of Cauchy
sequences, because if a : ℕ → α
then the filter of sets containing
cofinitely many of the a n
is Cauchy iff a
is a Cauchy sequence.
A set s
is called complete, if any Cauchy filter f
such that s ∈ f
has a limit in s
(formally, it satisfies f ≤ 𝓝 x
for some x ∈ s
).
The common part of the proofs of le_nhds_of_cauchy_adhp
and
sequentially_complete.le_nhds_of_seq_tendsto_nhds
: if for any entourage s
one can choose a set t ∈ f
of diameter s
such that it contains a point y
with (x, y) ∈ s
, then f
converges to x
.
If x
is an adherent (cluster) point for a Cauchy filter f
, then it is a limit point
for f
.
Cauchy sequences. Usually defined on ℕ, but often it is also useful to say that a function defined on ℝ is Cauchy at +∞ to deduce convergence. Therefore, we define it in a type class that is general enough to cover both ℕ and ℝ, which are the main motivating examples.
Equations
- cauchy_seq u = cauchy (filter.map u filter.at_top)
If a Cauchy sequence has a convergent subsequence, then it converges.
A complete space is defined here using uniformities. A uniform space is complete if every Cauchy filter converges.

Sequentially complete space #
In this section we prove that a uniform space is complete provided that it is sequentially complete
(i.e., any Cauchy sequence converges) and its uniformity filter admits a countable generating set.
In particular, this applies to (e)metric spaces, see the files topology/metric_space/emetric_space
and topology/metric_space/basic
.
More precisely, we assume that there is a sequence of entourages U_n
such that any other
entourage includes one of U_n
. Then any Cauchy filter f
generates a decreasing sequence of
sets s_n ∈ f
such that s_n × s_n ⊆ U_n
. Choose a sequence x_n∈s_n
. It is easy to show
that this is a Cauchy sequence. If this sequence converges to some a
, then f ≤ 𝓝 a
.
An auxiliary sequence of sets approximating a Cauchy filter.

Given a Cauchy filter f
and a sequence U
of entourages, set_seq
provides
an antitone sequence of sets s n ∈ f
such that s n ×ˢ s n ⊆ U
.

A sequence of points such that seq n ∈ set_seq n
. Here set_seq
is an antitone
sequence of sets set_seq n ∈ f

of entourages.

If the sequence sequentially_complete.seq
converges to a

A uniform space is complete provided that (a) its uniformity filter has a countable basis; (b) any sequence satisfying a "controlled" version of the Cauchy condition converges.
A sequentially complete uniform space with a countable basis of the uniformity filter is complete.
A separable uniform space with countably generated uniformity filter is second countable:
one obtains a countable basis by taking the balls centered at points in a dense subset,
and with rational "radii" from a countable open symmetric antitone basis of 𝓤 α
. We do not
register this as an instance, as there is already an instance going in the other direction
from second countable spaces to separable spaces, and we want to avoid loops.
