Inner of metric completion












0












$begingroup$


I am reading a proof where we have the following:





  • $M$ a metric space


  • $N$ its metric completion


It is then stated: for $yin N$ let ($y_s$) be a Cauchy sequence converging to y with $y_sin M$.



I do not understand why can we choose $y_sin M$.



Do we have $yin Nsetminus M Rightarrow yinpartial M$ ?



Edit



It is my understanding a property of the completion is being the smallest complete space $N$ such that $Msubset N$, and so the intuition tells me the above should hold. But I did not manage proving it yet.

          Yes, $M$ is dense in $N$ by the very definition of completion. Ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_metric_space
