Throughout this paper, a space means a T1 -space. A space is called fully normal if every open covering
of it has a Δ-refinement
, that is, an open covering for which the stars (x,
) form a covering which refines
. A space is called paracompact if every open covering
of it has a locally finite (= neighborhood finite) open covering
which refines
. It is well known that paracompactness is identical with full normality in a Hausdorff space ([3], [7]).
