G is now talking about locally compact spaces and there are two phrases I have not seen. One is "relatively compact". I assume this is the same as what I call "conditionally compact", i.e. having compact closure.
Depending on the author, "relatively compact" can mean either having compact closure, or having *any* compact superset. In a Hausdorff space, these are equivalent. --Toby
