Abstract

For an endofunctor H on a hyper-extensive category preserving countable coproducts we describe the free corecursive algebra on Y as the coproduct of the terminal coalgebra for H and the free H-algebra on Y. As a consequence, we derive that H is a cia functor, i.e., its corecursive algebras are precisely the cias (completely iterative algebras). Also all functors H(-) + Y are then cia functors.  For finitary set functors we prove that, conversely, if H is a cia functor, then it has the form H = W \times (-) + Y for some sets W and Y.
