Definition 40

[0J3] A subset \(KβŠ† X\) is compact 1 if, from every family of open sets \((A_ i)_{i∈ I}\) whose union \(⋃_{i∈ I}A_ i\) covers \(K\), we can choose a finite number \(JβŠ‚ I\) of open set whose union \(⋃_{i∈ J}A_ i\) covers \(K\).

  1. The definition shows that the empty set is compact. Some texts however explicitly exclude this case.
