    Likewise, spheres are compact, but a sphere missing a point is not since a sequence of points can still tend to the missing point, thereby not getting arbitrarily close to any point within the space. Lines and planes are not compact, since one can take a set of equally-spaced points in any given direction without approaching any point.

    According to Derwent Whittlesey, a Harvard professor (1939), the ideal state should be compact ("chunky") rather than elongated. [5] Poland is an example of a compact state. [1] A compact state has a minimum frontier to defend, and generally roads and railways are relatively simple to provide. [6]

    Functions with compact support on a topological space are those whose closed support is a compact subset of . If X {\displaystyle X} is the real line, or n {\displaystyle n} -dimensional Euclidean space, then a function has compact support if and only if it has bounded support , since a subset of R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is compact ...

    Conversely, every CG-2 space is the quotient space of a locally compact Hausdorff space. [24] [25] A quotient space of a CG-3 space is not CG-3 in general. In fact, every CG-2 space is a quotient space of a CG-3 space (namely, some locally compact Hausdorff space); but there are CG-2 spaces that are not CG-3.
