Semantics of Higher-Order Recursion Schemes

Jiri Adamek ; Stefan Milius ; Jiri Velebil.

Higher-order recursion schemes are recursive equations defining new operations from given ones called "terminals". Every such recursion scheme is proved to have a least interpreted semantics in every Scott's model of \lambda-calculus in which the terminals are interpreted as continuous operations.&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Elgot Algebras

Jiri Adamek ; Stefan Milius ; Jiri Velebil.

Denotational semantics can be based on algebras with additional structure (order, metric, etc.) which makes it possible to interpret recursive specifications. It was the idea of Elgot to base denotational semantics on iterative theories instead, i.e., theories in which abstract recursive&nbsp;[&hellip;]

A Categorical Approach to Syntactic Monoids

Jiří Adamek ; Stefan Milius ; Henning Urbat.

The syntactic monoid of a language is generalized to the level of a symmetric monoidal closed category $\mathcal D$. This allows for a uniform treatment of several notions of syntactic algebras known in the literature, including the syntactic monoids of Rabin and Scott ($\mathcal D=$ sets), the&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Proper Functors and Fixed Points for Finite Behaviour

Stefan Milius.

The rational fixed point of a set functor is well-known to capture the behaviour of finite coalgebras. In this paper we consider functors on algebraic categories. For them the rational fixed point may no longer be fully abstract, i.e. a subcoalgebra of the final coalgebra. Inspired by \'Esik and&nbsp;[&hellip;]
