Polycategories are known to give rise to models of classical linear logic in so-called representable polycategories with duals, which ask for the existence of various polymaps satisfying the different universal properties needed to define tensor, par, and negation. We begin by explaining how these different universal properties can all be seen as instances of a single notion of universality of a polymap parameterised by an input or output object, which also generalises the classical notion of universal multimap in a multicategory. We then proceed to introduce a definition of in-cartesian and out-cartesian polymaps relative to a refinement system (= strict functor) of polycategories, in such a way that universal polymaps can be understood as a special case. In particular, we obtain that a polycategory is a representable polycategory with duals if and only if it is bifibred over the terminal polycategory <span><math><mn>1</mn></math></span>. Finally, we present a Grothendieck correspondence between bifibrations of polycategories and pseudofunctors into <strong>MAdj</strong>, the (weak) 2-polycategory of multivariable adjunctions.

While the common fixed-precision interval arithmetic methods are restricted by the precision of the underlying machine architecture, domain-theoretic methods may be complete, i.e., the result may be obtained to any degree of accuracy. Furthermore, unlike methods based on interval arithmetic which require access to the syntactic representation of the vector field, domain-theoretic methods only deal with the semantics of the field, in the sense that the field is assumed to be given via finitely-representable approximations, to within any required accuracy.</p><p>In contrast to the domain-theoretic first-order Euler method, the second-order method uses the local Lipschitz properties of the field. This is achieved by using a domain for Lipschitz functions, whose elements are consistent pairs that provide approximations of the field and its local Lipschitz properties. In the special case where the field is differentiable, the local Lipschitz properties are exactly the local differential properties of the field. In solving IVPs, Lipschitz continuity of the field is a common assumption, as a sufficient condition for uniqueness of the solution. While the validated methods for solving IVPs commonly impose further restrictions on the vector field, the second-order Euler method requires no further condition. In this sense, the method may be seen as the most general of its kind.</p><p>To avoid complicated notations and lengthy arguments, the results of the paper are stated for the second-order Euler method. Nonetheless, the framework, and the results, may be extended to any higher-order Euler method, in a straightforward way.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38770,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science","volume":"352 ","pages":"Pages 105-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.entcs.2020.09.006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134102167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algebras can be used to formulate a quantitative logic of behavioural properties, specifying a congruent notion of program equivalence coinciding with a notion of applicative bisimilarity. Many combinations of effects can be interpreted using these algebras. In this paper, we specify a method of generically combining effects and the algebras used to interpret them. At the core of this method is the tensor of complete lattices, which combines the carrier sets of the algebras. We show that this tensor preserves complete distributivity of complete lattices. Moreover, the universal properties of this tensor can then be used to properly combine the Eilenberg-Moore algebras. We will apply this method to combine the effects of probability, global store, cost, nondeterminism, and error effects. We will then compare this method of combining effects with the more traditional method of combining equational theories using interaction laws.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38770,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science","volume":"352 ","pages":"Pages 257-281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.entcs.2020.09.013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129773535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
