Abstract

The Hausdorff hyperspace of a metric space consists of all its non-empty bounded closed sets and it is equipped with the Pompeiu--Hausdorff set distance. We present a simpler novel proof that the Hausdorff hyperspace of a complete space is complete as well. The Main Lemma is crucial in this demonstration and though it uses an induction argument -- the only one in our completeness proof -- it is stated purely in terms of neighborhoods.
