∆-normal spaces and decompositions of normality

Generalizations of normality, called (weakly) (functionally) ∆-normal spaces are introduced and their interrelation with some existing notions of normality is studied. ∆-regular spaces are introduced which is a generalization of seminormal, semiregular and θ-regular space. This leads to decompositions of normality in terms of ∆-regularity, seminormality and variants of ∆-normality.
