#### Definition of limit point compact
A space $X$ is limit point compact if any infinite subset of $X$ has a limit point.
A space $X$ is limit point compact if any infinite subset of $X$ has a [limit point](./Math4201_L8#limit-points) in $X$.
_That is, $\forall A\subseteq X$ and $A$ is infinite, there exists a point $x\in X$ such that $x\in U$, $\forall U\in \mathcal{T}$ containing $x$, $(U-\{x\})\cap A\neq \emptyset$._

#### Theorem of limit point compact spaces

If $(X,d)$ is a **metric space**, then the following are equivalent:
1. $X$ is compact.
2. $X$ is limit point compact.

First, we show that 1. implies 2.
We proceed by contradiction.
Let $X$ be compact and $A\subseteq X$ be an infinite subset of $X$ that doesn't have any limit points.
Then $X-A$ is open because any $x\in X-A$ isn't in the closure of $A$ otherwise it would be a limit point for $A$, and hence $x$ has an open neighborhood contained in the complement of $A$.

Proof of 1. follows from the theorem of limit point compact spaces.

That means, sequentially compact is a stronger property than limit point compact, and compact is the stronger property than limit point compact.

This space is compact $I^I$ but not sequentially compact (You can always find a sequence of functions that does not converge to any function in the space, when there is uncountable many functions in the space).
