Sequentially complete

In mathematics, specifically in topology and functional analysis, a subspace S of a uniform space X is said to be sequentially complete or semi-complete if every Cauchy sequence in S converges to an element in S. X is called sequentially complete if it is a sequentially complete subset of itself.

Every topological vector space is a uniform space so the notion of sequential completeness can be applied to them.

1. A bounded sequentially complete disk in a Hausdorff topological vector space is a Banach disk.^[1]
2. A Hausdorff locally convex space that is sequentially complete and bornological is ultrabornological.^[2]

1. Every complete space is sequentially complete but not conversely.
2. For metrizable spaces, sequential completeness implies completeness. Together with the previous property, this means sequential completeness and completeness are equivalent over metrizable spaces.
3. Every complete topological vector space is quasi-complete and every quasi-complete topological vector space is sequentially complete.^[3]
