Definition

Completeness

A mathematical structure is complete if every Cauchy sequence in it converges to a limit that is also in the structure.

Metric spaces

For a metric space, this means that no limit point is missing from the space. A complete metric space is a complete metric space.

Normed vector spaces

A normed vector space is complete exactly when it is a Banach space.

Real numbers

The real numbers are complete in the sense of the completeness theorem of the real numbers.
