Let K\mathcal{K} be the set of all non-empty compact subsets of mm-dimensional Euclidean space Rm\mathbb{R}^{m}. Define the Hausdorff metric on K\mathcal{K}, and prove that it is a metric.

Let K1K2K_{1} \supseteq K_{2} \supseteq \ldots be a sequence in K\mathcal{K}. Show that K=n=1KnK=\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty} K_{n} is also in K\mathcal{K} and that KnKK_{n} \rightarrow K as nn \rightarrow \infty in the Hausdorff metric.
