Coalgebraic Monads
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces coalgebraic monads as a unified model of term algebras covering fundamental examples such as initial algebras, final coalgebras, rational terms and term graphs. We develop a general method for obtaining finitary coalgebraic monads which allows us to generalise the notion of rational term and term graph to categories other than Set. As an application we sketch part of the correctness of the the term graph implementation of functional programming languages.

Complete Elgot Monads and Coalgebraic Resumptions
Monads are extensively used nowadays to abstractly model a wide range of computational effects such as nondeterminism, statefulness, and exceptions. It turns out that equipping a monad with a (uniform) iteration operator satisfying a set of natural axioms allows for modelling iterative computations just as abstractly. The emerging monads are called complete Elgot monads. It has been shown recen...
متن کاملPreorders on Monads and Coalgebraic Simulations
We study the construction of preorders on Set-monads by the semantic ⊤⊤-lifting. We show the universal property of this construction, and characterise the class of preorders on a monad as a limit of a Card-chain. We apply these theoretical results to identifying preorders on some concrete monads, including the powerset monad, maybe monad, and their composite monad. We also relate the constructi...
متن کاملPredicate Logic for Functors and Monads
This paper starts from the elementary observation that what is usually called a predicate lifting in coalgebraic modal logic is in fact an endomap of indexed categories. This leads to a systematic review of basic results in predicate logic for functors and monads, involving induction and coinduction principles for functors and compositional modal operators for monads.
متن کاملA Coalgebraic Calculus for Component Based Systems
In this paper we describe the coalgebraic models for state-based software components and componentbased systems. The behaviour patterns of components are specified by strong monads. A family of operators for combining components based on the category of coalgebras are defined and a set of algebraic laws are also presented to specify the properties being satisfied by these operators.
متن کاملDualising Initial Algebras
Whilst the relationship between initial algebras and monads is well understood, the relationship between final coalgebras and comonads is less well explored. This paper shows that the problem is more subtle than might appear at first glance: final coalgebras can form monads just as easily as comonads, and, dually, initial algebras form both monads and comonads. In developing these theories we s...
