This paper studies fundamental questions concerning category-theoretic models of induction and recursion. We are concerned with the relationship between well-founded and recursive coalgebras for an endofunctor. For monomorphism preserving…

We extend Barr's well-known characterization of the final coalgebra of a $Set$-endofunctor as the completion of its initial algebra to the Eilenberg-Moore category of algebras for a $Set$-monad $\mathbf{M}$ for functors arising as liftings.…

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…

A number of categories is presented that are algebraically complete and cocomplete, i.e., every endofunctor has an initial algebra and a terminal coalgebra. For all finitary (and, more generally, all precontinuous) set functors the initial…

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 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…

We define varieties of algebras for an arbitrary endofunctor on a cocomplete category using pairs of natural transformations. This approach is proved to be equivalent to the one of equational classes defined by equation arrows. Free…

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…

We give conditions on a finitary endofunctor of a finitely accessible category to admit a final coalgebra. Our conditions always apply to the case of a finitary endofunctor of a locally finitely presentable (l.f.p.) category and they bring…

For an endofunctor $H$ on a hyper-extensive category preserving countable coproducts we describe the free corecursive algebra on $Y$ as the coproduct of the final coalgebra for $H$ and the free $H$-algebra on $Y$. As a consequence, we…

It is shown that every concretizable category can be fully embedded into the category of accessible set functors and natural transformations.

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…

A special final coalgebra theorem, in the style of Aczel's, is proved within standard Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Aczel's Anti-Foundation Axiom is replaced by a variant definition of function that admits non-well-founded constructions.…

We introduce the concept of cotensor coalgebra for a given bicomodule over a coalgebra in an abelian monoidal category. Under some further conditions we show that such a cotensor coalgebra exists and satisfies a meaningful universal…

In this paper we show how the abstract behaviours of higher-order systems can be modelled as final coalgebras of suitable behavioural functors. These functors have the challenging peculiarity to be circularly defined with their own final…

For every finitary set functor F we demonstrate that free algebras carry a canonical partial order. In case F is bicontinuous, we prove that the cpo obtained as the conservative completion of the free algebra is the free completely…

An algebra is called corecursive if from every coalgebra a unique coalgebra-to-algebra homomorphism exists into it. We prove that free corecursive algebras are obtained as coproducts of the terminal coalgebra (considered as an algebra) and…

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…
