Some versions of relative paracompactness and their absolute embeddings
Arhangel’skii [Sci. Math. Jpn. 55 (2002), 153–201] defined notions of relative paracompactness in terms of locally finite open partial refinement and asked if one can generalize the notions above to the well known Michael’s criteria of paracompactness in [17] and [18]. In this paper, we consider some versions of relative paracompactness defined by locally finite (not necessarily open) partial refinement or locally finite closed partial refinement, and also consider closure-preserving cases, such...
