 | | In metric spaces, one can talk about limits of sequences; a metric space in which every Cauchy sequence has a limit is said to be complete. |
 | | Since metric spaces are topological spaces, one has a notion of continuous function between metric spaces. |
 | | Every such metric can be rescaled to a finite metric (using d'(x, y) = d(x, y) / (1 + d(x, y)) or d''(x, y) = min(1, d(x, y))) and the two concepts of metric space are therefore equivalent as far as notions of topology (such as continuity or convergence) are concerned. |
