Every convergent sequence is relatively compact












0














Let $X$ be an Hilbert space. It is known that:




  1. Every bounded set is relatively compact (i.e., has compact closure) iff $X$ is finite dimensional


  2. Every convergent sequence is bounded.


  3. Every totally bounded set is relatively compact, see here.



My question is: Does there exist an infinite dimensional $X$ such that every convergent sequence is relatively compact?

          In any metric space, if $(x_n)_{ninmathbb N}$ is a convergent sequence and if $x=lim_{ntoinfty}x_n$, then ${x_n,|,ninmathbb{N}}$ is relatively compact, since its closure is ${x_n,|,ninmathbb{N}}cup{x}$, which is compact.
