In topology, an **A-paracompact space** is a generalization of the notion of paracompactness that is defined in terms of certain open covers. A topological space \\( X \\) is said to be **A-paracompact** if every open cover of \\( X \\) has a locally finite open refinement, where a refinement of an open cover is another cover that consists of subsets of the original open sets.
