Abstract
A topological space X is countably paracompact if and only if X satisfies the condition (A): For any decreasing sequence {F i } of non-empty closed sets with \({\bigcap_{i=1}^{\infty} F_{i} = \emptyset}\) there exists a sequence {G i } of open sets such that \({\bigcap_{i=1}^{\infty}\overline{G_{i}}=\emptyset}\) and \({F_{i} \subset G_{i}}\) for every i. We will show, by an example, that this is not true in generalized topological spaces. In fact there is a \({\mu}\)-normal generalized topological space satisfying the analogue of A which is not even countably \({\mu}\)-metacompact. Then we study the relationships between countably \({\mu}\)-paracompactness, countably \({\mu}\)-metacompactness and the condition corresponding to condition A in generalized topological spaces.
