Differential linear categories provide the categorical semantics of the multiplicative and exponential fragments of Differential Linear Logic. Briefly, a differential linear category is a symmetric monoidal category that is enriched over…

Differential categories are now an established abstract setting for differentiation. However not much attention has been given to the process which is inverse to differentiation: integration. This paper presents the parallel development for…

A differential category is an additive symmetric monoidal category, that is, a symmetric monoidal category enriched over commutative monoids, with an algebra modality, axiomatizing smooth functions, and a deriving transformation on this…

Derivations provide a way of transporting ideas from the calculus of manifolds to algebraic settings where there is no sensible notion of limit. In this paper, we consider derivations in certain monoidal categories, called codifferential…

Cartesian differential categories were introduced to provide an abstract axiomatization of categories of differentiable functions. The fundamental example is the category whose objects are Euclidean spaces and whose arrows are smooth maps.…

Differential categories provide the categorical foundations for the algebraic approaches to differentiation. They have been successful in formalizing various important concepts related to differentiation, such as, in particular,…

Differential categories axiomatize the basics of differentiation and provide categorical models of differential linear logic. A differential category is said to have antiderivatives if a natural transformation $\mathsf{K}$, which all…

Differential categories provide an axiomatization of the basics of differentiation and categorical models of differential linear logic. As differentiation is an important tool throughout quantum mechanics and quantum information, it makes…

We develop further the theory of monoidal bicategories by introducing and studying bicategorical counterparts of the notions of a linear exponential comonad, as considered in the study of linear logic, and of a codereliction transformation,…

Cartesian differential categories come equipped with a differential combinator that formalizes the derivative from multi-variable differential calculus, and also provide the categorical semantics of the differential $\lambda$-calculus. An…

In Linear Logic ($\mathsf{LL}$), the exponential modality $!$ brings forth a distinction between non-linear proofs and linear proofs, where linear means using an argument exactly once. Differential Linear Logic ($\mathsf{DiLL}$) is an…

We extend to general Cartesian categories the idea of Coherent Differentiation recently introduced by Ehrhard in the setting of categorical models of Linear Logic. The first ingredient is a summability structure which induces a partial…

Categorical models of the exponential modality of linear logic will often, but not always, support an operation of differentiation. When they do, we speak of a monoidal differential modality; when they do not, we have merely a monoidal…

We introduce a new form of logical relation which, in the spirit of metric relations, allows us to assign each pair of programs a quantity measuring their distance, rather than a boolean value standing for their being equivalent. The…

We define a framework for incorporating alternation-free fixpoint logics into the dual-adjunction setup for coalgebraic modal logics. We achieve this by using order-enriched categories. We give a least-solution semantics as well as an…

The categorical models of the differential lambda-calculus are additive categories because of the Leibniz rule which requires the summation of two expressions. This means that, as far as the differential lambda-calculus and differential…

Differential categories were introduced by Blute, Cockett, and Seely as categorical models of differential linear logic and have since lead to abstract formulations of many notions involving differentiation such as the directional…

Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…

This is a short introduction to categories with some emphasis on coalgebras. We start from introducing basic notions (categories, functors, natural transformations), move to Kleisli tripels and monads, with a short discussion of monads in…

We study categorical models for the unitless fragment of multiplicative linear logic. We find that the appropriate notion of model is a special kind of promonoidal category. Since the theory of promonoidal categories has not been developed…
