Definition df-pcmp

Description: Definition of a paracompact topology. A topology is said to be paracompact iff every open cover has an open refinement that is locally finite. The definition 6 of BourbakiTop1 p. I.69. also requires the topology to be Hausdorff, but this is dropped here. (Contributed by Thierry Arnoux, 7-Jan-2020)
