Every endofunctor of the category of classes is proved to be set-based in the sense of Aczel and Mendler, therefore, it has a final coalgebra. Other basic properties of these endofunctors are proved, e.g. the existence of a free completely…
Recursive coalgebras provide an elegant categorical tool for modelling recursive algorithms and analysing their termination and correctness. By considering coalgebras over categories of suitably indexed families, the correctness of the…
We construct recursion categories from categories of coalgebras. Let $F$ be a nontrivial endofunctor on the category of sets that weakly preserves pullbacks and such that the category $\textbf{Set}_F$ of $F$-coalgebras is complete. The…
The paper uses the formalism of indexed categories to recover the proof of a standard final coalgebra theorem, thus showing existence of final coalgebras for a special class of functors on categories with finite limits and colimits. As an…
Using the theory of coalgebra, we introduce a uniform framework for adding modalities to the language of propositional geometric logic. Models for this logic are based on coalgebras for an endofunctor on some full subcategory of the…
For endofunctors of varieties preserving intersections, a new description of the final coalgebra and the initial algebra is presented: the former consists of all well-pointed coalgebras. These are the pointed coalgebras having no proper…
Let $U$ be a silting object in a derived category over a dg-algebra $A$, and let $B$ be the endomorphism dg-algebra of $U$. Under some appropriate hypotheses, we show that if $U$ is good, then there exist a dg-algebra $C$, a homological…
Coalgebras for a functor model different types of transition systems in a uniform way. This paper focuses on a uniform account of finitary logics for set-based coalgebras. In particular, a general construction of a logic from an arbitrary…
K\"onig's lemma is a fundamental result about trees with countless applications in mathematics and computer science. In contrapositive form, it states that if a tree is finitely branching and well-founded (i.e. has no infinite paths), then…
Coalgebras for an endofunctor provide a category-theoretic framework for modeling a wide range of state-based systems of various types. We provide an iterative construction of the reachable part of a given pointed coalgebra that is inspired…
We combine the theory of inductive data types with the theory of universal measurings. By doing so, we find that many categories of algebras of endofunctors are actually enriched in the corresponding category of coalgebras of the same…
This paper contributes to a theory of the behaviour of "finite-state" systems that is generic in the system type. We propose that such systems are modelled as coalgebras with a finitely generated carrier for an endofunctor on a locally…

In previous work, categories of algebras of endofunctors were shown to be enriched in categories of coalgebras of the same endofunctor, and the extra structure of that enrichment was used to define a generalization of inductive data types.…
We prove that every finitary polynomial endofunctor of a category $C$ has a final coalgebra if $C$ is locally Cartesian closed, has finite disjoint coproducts and a natural number object. More generally, we prove that the category of…
We recall the notions of a graded cocategory, conilpotent cocategory, morphisms of such (cofunctors), coderivations and define their analogs in $\mathbb L$-filtered setting. The difference with the existing approaches: we do not impose any…
Many recursive functions can be defined elegantly as the unique homomorphisms, between two algebras, two coalgebras, or one each, that are induced by some universal property of a distinguished structure. Besides the well-known applications…
For any algebra morphism in a monoidal category, we provide sufficient conditions (which are also necessary if the unit is a left tensor generator) for the attached induction functor being semiseparable. Under mild assumptions, we prove…
For a set-endofunctor $F$, a graph is triple $(V,E,g)$ with a structure map $g:E\rightarrow F V$. This model is a generalized coalgebra over the category of sets. In this note, we model graphs as coalgebras over $Set\times Set$ and use the…
The theory of coalgebras, for an endofunctor on a category, has been proposed as a general theory of transition systems. We investigate and relate four generalizations of bisimulation to this setting, providing conditions under which the…
