Subject: infinite trees
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 12:29:49 +0100 (MET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.3.96.1011214121352.9736D-100000@lisa> (raw)

What is actually a first reference for the fact that for every polynomial
endofunctor of Set a final coalgebra consists of all properly labelled
(finite and infinite) trees? I suspect the first authors to study this
were Arbib and Manes in their
"Parametrized data types do not need...", Information and control 52
(1982), 139-158.
However, it is obvious from that paper that Arbib and Manes were
definitely unaware of the general statement, which explains why they only
mention some special cases in their book in 1986.
