Description
Summary:Mashhour et al. [1] introduced the notions of P1-paracompactness and P2-paracompactness of topological spaces in terms of preopen sets. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a weaker form of paracompactness which is called P3-paracompact. We obtain various characterizations, properties, examples, and counterexamples concerning it and its relationships with other types of spaces. In particular, we show that if a space (X,T) is quasi-submaximal, then (X,T) is paracompact if it is P3-paracompact.
