| − | A paracompact space is a Hausdorff [[topological space]] in which every [[open cover]] admits an open, locally finite refinement. | + | A paracompact space is a Hausdorff [[topological space]] in which every [[open cover]] admits an open, locally finite refinement. Example of paracompact space include [[metric space]], locally compact second-countable space, and regular Lindelöf space. |
