Definition

Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.

A subspace $H \subseteq S$ is sequentially compact in itself if and only if every infinite sequence in $H$ has a subsequence which converges to a point in $H$.


This is understood to mean that $H$ is sequentially compact when we consider it as a topological space with the induced topology of $T$.


Clearly we can take $H = S$, and refer to $S$ itself (or the space $T$) as being sequentially compact.
