Notation for compact sets?

872 Views Asked by At

Is there some accepted notation for a set that is compact?

E.g. I am currently writing "... [blah] is true if for every compact set $A \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and ...".

I could simplify my writing if there was some notation that meant the set $A$ is compact.

Thank you,

$K$ is often used for compact sets, but (to my knowledge) there is no notation that definitively designates a set as compact. If you just said "for every $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n...$ the reader could not infer that $K$ is compact.
