bounded
Let be a subset of . We say that is bounded when there exists a real number such that for all . When is an interval, we speak of a bounded interval.
This can be generalized first to . We say that is bounded if there is a real number such that for all and is the Euclidean distance between and .
This condition is equivalent to the statement: There is a real number such that for all .
A further generalization to any metric space says that is bounded when there is a real number such that for all , where is the metric on .
