Completeness for Categories of Generalized Automata ((Co)algebraic pearls)

Abstract

We present a slick proof of completeness and cocompleteness for categories of F-automata, where the span of maps E ←d E⊗ I s→ O that usually defines a deterministic automaton of input I and output O in a monoidal category (K,⊗) is replaced by a span E ← FE → O for a generic endofunctor F : K → K of a generic category K: these automata exist in their "Mealy" and "Moore" version and form categories F-Mly and F-Mre; such categories can be presented as strict 2-pullbacks in Cat and whenever F is a left adjoint, both F-Mly and F-Mre admit all limits and colimits that K admits. We mechanize our main results using the proof assistant Agda and the library https://github.com/agda/agda-categories.
