Compactoid subsets of normed spaces #
A subset S of a seminormed space E over a normed field K is compactoid
(TauCeti.IsCompactoidSet K S) if for every ε > 0 there are finitely many vectors
v₁, …, vₙ such that every x ∈ S lies within ε of a combination ∑ aᵢ • vᵢ with all
‖aᵢ‖ ≤ 1. Over a nonarchimedean field the combinations with ‖aᵢ‖ ≤ 1 are exactly the
K°-submodule spanned by the vᵢ, so this is the condition that S ⊆ U + span_{K°} F for every
zero neighbourhood U and some finite F (TauCeti.isCompactoidSet_iff_forall_mem_nhds).
Compactoid sets replace relatively compact sets in nonarchimedean functional analysis: over a
field such as ℂ_p, which is not locally compact, a bounded subset of a line need not be totally
bounded, yet it is compactoid. Operators mapping the closed unit ball to a compactoid set are the
compact operators of nonarchimedean Banach space theory. Every totally bounded set is compactoid,
and over a field whose closed balls are compact, such as a nontrivially normed locally compact
field, the two notions agree (TauCeti.isCompactoidSet_iff_totallyBounded).

A subset S of a seminormed K-space is compactoid if for every ε > 0 there are
finitely many vectors v i such that every x ∈ S is within ε of some ∑ i, a i • v i with
all ‖a i‖ ≤ 1.

A set is compactoid if and only if for every neighbourhood U of zero there are finitely many
vectors v i with S ⊆ U + {∑ i, a i • v i | ‖a i‖ ≤ 1}.
To show that S is compactoid it suffices to approximate it, for every ε > 0, by
combinations of a finite subfamily of a fixed family v, with coefficients of norm at most one.
A compactoid set is approximated by finite pieces of one sequence: there is a sequence v
such that, for every ε > 0, every point of S is within ε of a combination of finitely many
fixed terms of v with coefficients of norm at most one. Consequently S lies in the closure of
the span of v.
