Abstract

In this section we prove the Ascoli–Arzelà-type compactness theorem introduced in §1.3.2. The theorem is fundamental since a variety of compactness results on various function spaces follows. Here we give a detailed proof, since the case that the domain of definition of functions is not compact is usually not contained in elementary course books.
