# Completeness in terms of cauchy filters vs is_cau_seq sequences #

In this file we apply metric.complete_of_cauchy_seq_tendsto to prove that a normed_ring is complete in terms of cauchy filter if and only if it is complete in terms of cau_seq Cauchy sequences.

In a normed field, cau_seq coincides with the usual notion of Cauchy sequences.

A complete normed field is complete as a metric space, as Cauchy sequences converge by assumption and this suffices to characterize completeness.
