The Density
Comonad
for a Functor
(aka the 'Comonad generated by a Functor
)
The Density
term dates back to Dubuc''s 1974 thesis. The term
Monad
generated by a Functor
dates back to 1972 in Street''s
''Formal Theory of Monads''.
The left Kan extension of a Functor
along itself (
) forms a Lan
f fComonad
. This is
that Comonad
.
Synopsis
- data Density k a where
- liftDensity :: Comonad w => w a -> Density w a
- densityToAdjunction :: Adjunction f g => Density f a -> f (g a)
- adjunctionToDensity :: Adjunction f g => f (g a) -> Density f a
- densityToLan :: Density f a -> Lan f f a
- lanToDensity :: Lan f f a -> Density f a

liftDensity :: Comonad w => w a -> Density w a Source #
densityToAdjunction :: Adjunction f g => Density f a -> f (g a) Source #
The Density Comonad
of a left adjoint is isomorphic to the Comonad
formed by that Adjunction
.
This isomorphism is witnessed by densityToAdjunction
and adjunctionToDensity
.

The Density
Comonad
of a Functor
f
is obtained by taking the left Kan extension
(Lan
) of f
along itself. This isomorphism is witnessed by lanToDensity
