In mathematics, specifically in category theory, an -coalgebra is a structure defined according to a functor . For both algebra and coalgebra, a functor is a convenient and general way of organizing a signature. This has applications in computer science: examples of coalgebras include lazy, infinite data structures, such as streams, and also transition systems. -coalgebras are dual to -algebras. Just as the class of all algebras for a given signature and equational theory form a variety, so does the class of all -coalgebras satisfying a given equational theory form a covariety, where the signature is given by . ==Definition== An -coalgebra for an endofunctor on the category : is an object of together with a morphism : usually written as . An -coalgebra homomorphism from to another -coalgebra is a morphism : in such that :. Thus the -coalgebras for a given functor ''F'' constitute a category. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「F-coalgebra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
