Approximating compact sets in normed linear spaces

Jack Emile Girolo

Vol. 98 (1982), No. 1, 81–89
Abstract

It is shown that in normed linear spaces compact sets can be approximated by compact absolute neighborhood retracts in the following sense: If X is a compact subset of a normed linear space, then for every 𝜀 > 0 there exists a compact absolute neighborhood retract that contains X and has the property that each point of the retract is within 𝜀 of X. If the choice of 𝜀 is sufficiently large, the retract can be chosen to be an absolute retract.
