Abstract

Venanzio Capretta, Varmo Vene and I have previously studied antifounded algebras as a a category-theoretic formulation of antifounded coinduction. These are the dual of wellfounded coalgebras, a category theorist's take on wellfounded induction, closely related to the Bove-Capretta method for justifying function definitions by general recursion in type theory.

In this talk, we discuss one possible type-theoretic approach to antifounded coinduction.

Keyphrases: antifounded coinduction, corecursion, subset, quotient types, type theory, wellfounded induction, recursion
