The M construction as a multivariate polynomial functor. #
M types are potentially infinite tree-like structures. They are defined as the greatest fixpoint of a polynomial functor.
Main definitions #
M.mk
- constructorM.dest
- destructorM.corec
- corecursor: useful for formulating infinite, productive computationsM.bisim
- bisimulation: proof technique to show the equality of infinite objects
Implementation notes #
Dual view of M-types:
Specifically, we define the polynomial functor mp
as:
- A := a possibly infinite tree-like structure without information in the nodes
- B := given the tree-like structure
t
,B t
is a valid path from the root oft
to any given node.
As a result mp α
is made of a dataless tree and a function from
its valid paths to values of α
The difference with the polynomial functor of an initial algebra is
that A
is a possibly infinite tree.

A path from the root of a tree to one of its node
- root: {n : ℕ} → {P : MvPFunctor.{u} (n + 1)} → (x : P.last.M) → (a : P.A) → (f : P.last.B a → P.last.M) → x.dest = ⟨a, f⟩ → (i : Fin2 n) → P.drop.B a i → MvPFunctor.M.Path P x i
- child: {n : ℕ} → {P : MvPFunctor.{u} (n + 1)} → (x : P.last.M) → (a : P.A) → (f : P.last.B a → P.last.M) → x.dest = ⟨a, f⟩ → (j : P.last.B a) → (i : Fin2 n) → MvPFunctor.M.Path P (f j) i → MvPFunctor.M.Path P x i

Polynomial functor of the M-type of P
. A

possibly infinite tree whereas, for a given a : A

from its valid paths to the values it contains
