The Kolmogorov-Riesz compactness theorem. (English) Zbl 1208.46027

Expo. Math. 28, No. 4, 385-394 (2010); addendum ibid. 34, No. 2, 243-245 (2016).
Summary: We show that the Arzelà-Ascoli theorem and the Kolmogorov compactness theorem both are consequences of a simple lemma on compactness in metric spaces. Their relation to Helly’s theorem is discussed. The paper contains a detailed discussion on the historical background of the Kolmogorov compactness theorem.
