Algebras of endofunctors #
This file defines (co)algebras of an endofunctor, and provides the category instance for them.
It also defines the forgetful functor from the category of (co)algebras. It is shown that the
structure map of the initial algebra of an endofunctor is an isomorphism. Furthermore, it is shown
that for an adjunction F ⊣ G
the category of algebras over F
is equivalent to the category of
coalgebras over G
.
TODO #
- Prove the dual result about the structure map of the terminal coalgebra of an endofunctor.
- Prove that if the countable infinite product over the powers of the endofunctor exists, then algebras over the endofunctor coincide with algebras over the free monad on the endofunctor.
