An example of a limit-point compact topological space that it is not compact: Let \mathbf{X}=\mathbb{Z} and define \mathbf{B}_n=\{2n-1,2n\} for each n. Obviously the collection of all \mathbf{B}_n is a basis for a topology on \mathbf{X}. Notice that with this topology \mathbf{X} is not compact: the same family of all \mathbf{B}_n is an open cover of \mathbf{X} with no finite subcover. But \mathbf{X} is limit-point compact: suppose that \mathbf{A} is an infinite subset of \mathbf{X} and a\in \mathbf{A}. Define x = 2n − 1 if a is even, and x = 2n if a is odd. Then every open set that contains x also contains a, so x is an accumulation point of \mathbf{A}.
