Abstract
A space is called an extension of a space if contains as a dense subspace. An extension of is called a one-point extension of if is a singleton. P. Alexandroff proved that any locally compact non-compact Hausdorff space has a one-point compact Hausdorff extension, called the one-point compactification of . Motivated by this, S. Mr\'{o}wka and J.H. Tsai [On local topological properties. II, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S\'{e}r. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys. 19 (1971), 1035-1040] posed the following more general question: For what pairs of topological properties and does a locally- space having possess a one-point extension having both and ? Here, we provide an answer to this old question.
