(Co)limits in a preorder category #
We provide basic results about (co)limits in the associated category of a preordered type.
- We show that a functor
Fhas a (co)limit iff it has a greatest lower bound (least upper bound). - We show maximal (minimal) elements correspond to terminal (initial) objects.
- We show that (co)products correspond to infima (suprema).
The cone associated to a lower bound of a functor.
Equations
Instances For
The point of a cone is a lower bound.
If a cone is a limit, its point is a glb.
If the point of cone is a glb, the cone is a limit.
Equations
Instances For
