Example of open cover of (0,1) which has no finite subcover

120 Views Asked by At

Give an example of an open cover of the segment $(0,1)$ which has no finite subcover.

Example: Taking $G_n=(0,1-1/n)$ for $n>1$. It is obvious that $(0,1)\subset \cup_{n=2}^{\infty}G_n$ but $\{G_n\}$ has no finite subcover of $(0,1)$.

Does this example satisfy the conditions of problem?
