      More generally, each compact subset of a Hausdorff space is closed. [] Metric spaces and compact Hausdorff spaces enjoy an even stronger separation property; in either case, disjoint closed sets can always be separated by disjoint open sets.

      In 1953, Grothendieck [G] characterized locally convex Hausdorff spaces which have the Dunford-Pettis property and used this property to characterize weakly compact operators u : C(K) → F, where K is a compact Hausdorff space and F is a locally compact Hausdorff space (briefly, lcHs) which is complete.
