strongly paracompact space


A collectionMathworldPlanetmath 𝒜 of sets is said to be star-finite if each member of 𝒜 meets only finitely many members of 𝒜.

A topological spaceMathworldPlanetmath X is said to be strongly paracompact if every open cover of X has a star-finite open refinement.

A star-finite open cover of a topological space is clearly locally finitePlanetmathPlanetmath. Therefore, every strongly paracompact space is paracompact (as the name suggests).
