Abstract
Let (X,d) be a metric space and m\in X. Suppose that \phi:X\times X\to\mathbold{R} is a nonnegative symmetric function. We define a metric d^{\phi,m} on X which is equivalent to d. If d^{\phi,m} is totally bounded, its completion is a compactification of (X,d). As examples, we construct two compactifications of (\mathhbold{R}^s,d_E), where d_E is the Euclidean metric and s\geq 2.
