Definition

Symbol-free definition

A topological space is said to be pseudocompact if it satisfies the following equivalent properties:

  1. For any continuous map from the topological space to the real line, the image of the topological space is a closed and bounded subset of the real line.
  2. For any continuous map from the topological space to the real line, the image of the topological space is a bounded subset of the real line.
  3. Any continuous map from the topological space to the real line attains its absolute maximum and its absolute minimum.
