Tikhonov certainly had given the right definition and this idea, which was counterintuitive to even as great a topologist as Aleksandrov, allowed Tikhonov to go on and prove such important topological results as the product of any set of compact topological spaces is compact.
Tikhonov tiyak na bibigyan ng karapatang kahulugan at mga ideya na ito, na kung saan ay counterintuitive sa kahit bilang isang mahusay na topologist bilang Aleksandrov, pinahihintulutan Tikhonov upang pumunta sa at patunayan tulad ng mahalagang topological resulta ng bilang ng mga produkto ng anumang hanay ng mga compact topological agwat ay kasunduan.
