We investigate limits in the 2-category of strict algebras and lax morphisms for a 2-monad. This includes both the 2-category of monoidal categories and monoidal functors as well ...
Category theorists invented monads in the 1960's to concisely express certain aspects of universal algebra. Functional programmers invented list comprehensions in the 1970...
Abstract. This paper presents the semantics of database mappings in the relational database (DB) category, based on the power-view monad T and monadic algebras. The semantics can b...
The study of constraint satisfaction problems definable in various fragments of Datalog has recently gained considerable importance. We consider constraint satisfaction problems ...
New results on the recognizability of sets of finite graphs, hypergraphs and relational structures are presented. The general framework of this research which associates tightly a...
