Limits in double categories
by Marco Grandis and Robert Pare

Abstract. We define the notion of (horizontal) double limit for a double
functor  F: I -> A  between double categories, and we give a construction
theorem for such limits, from double products, double equalisers and
tabulators (the double limits of vertical arrows). Double limits can
describe important tools; for instance, the Grothendieck construction of a
profunctor is its tabulator, in the "double category" of categories,
functors and profunctors. If  A  is a 2-category, the previous result
reduces to Street's construction theorem of weighted limits, by ordinary
limits and cotensors  2*X  (the tabulator of the vertical identity of the
object  X).
