An isolated point of E is in E but not a limit point of it. E is perfect if it is exactly equal to its set of limit points. Equivalently, it is closed and has no isolated points. Ex. 2.44: The Cantor set is perfect.

A compact set is a set for which every open cover has a finite subcover.

(ported from wiki) Certain notable problems that I don’t want to look through a zillion pages to find. Iran TST 1996, notoriously reposted at least 35 times on AoPS (okay, many of these are actually modifications): If \(x, y, z > 0\) then \[(xy+yz+zx)\left(\frac{1}{(x+y)^2} + \frac{1}{(y+z)^2} + \frac{1}{(z+x)^2}\right) \geq \frac{9}{4}\] ISL 1988 #4: if \(1, 2, \ldots, n^2\) are placed in a \(n \times n\) chessboard, some two adjacent numbers differ by at least \(n\) USAMO 1995.
