چکیده

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. This is then put to use in the context of a Heyting pretopos with a class of small maps, in order to build the final coalgebra for the Ps functor. This is then proved to provide a model for various set theories with the Anti-Foundation Axiom, depending on the chosen axiomatisation for the class of small maps.

A Concrete Final Coalgebra Theorem for ZF Set Theory

A special final coalgebra theorem, in the style of Aczel’s [2], is proved within standard Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Aczel’s AntiFoundation Axiom is replaced by a variant definition of function that admits non-well-founded constructions. Variant ordered pairs and tuples, of possibly infinite length, are special cases of variant functions. Analogues of Aczel’s Solution and Substitution Lemmas ...

On the Foundations of Final Coalgebra Semantics: Non-Well-Founded Sets, Partial Orders, Metric Spaces

This paper, a revised version of Rutten and Turi (1993), is part of a programme aiming at formulating a mathematical theory of structural operational semantics to complement the established theory of domains and denotational semantics to form a coherent whole (Turi 1996; Turi and Plotkin 1997). The programme is based on a suitable interplay between the induction principle, which pervades modern...

Universal coalgebra: a theory of systems

In the semantics of programming, nite data types such as nite lists, have traditionally been modelled by initial algebras. Later nal coalgebras were used in order to deal with in nite data types. Coalgebras, which are the dual of algebras, turned out to be suited, moreover, as models for certain types of automata and more generally, for (transition and dynamical) systems. An important property ...

Categories of Coalgebraic Games with Selective Sum

Joyal’s categorical construction on (well-founded) Conway games and winning strategies provides a compact closed category, where tensor and linear implication are defined via Conway disjunctive sum (in combination with negation for linear implication). The equivalence induced on games by the morphisms coincides with the contextual closure of the equideterminacy relation w.r.t. the disjunctive s...
