complete metric space

   <theory> A {metric space} in which every sequence that
   converges in itself has a limit.  For example, the space of
   {real numbers} is complete by {Dedekind's axiom}, whereas the
   space of {rational numbers} is not - e.g. the sequence a[0]=1;
   a[n_+1]:=a[n]/2+1/a[n].
