It combines ideas from the theory of dynamical systems and from the theory of state-based computation. Although still in its infancy, it is an active area of research that generates wide interest. Written by one of the founders of the field, this book acts as the first mature and accessible introduction to coalgebra. It provides clear mathematical explanations, with many examples and exercises involving deterministic and non-deterministic automata, transition systems, streams, Markov chains and weighted automata. The theory is expressed in the language of category theory, which provides the right abstraction to make the similarity and duality between algebra and coalgebra explicit, and which the reader is introduced to in a hands-on manner. The book will be useful to mathematicians and (theoretical) computer scientists and will also be of interest to mathematical physicists, biologists and economists.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 159mmItem Width: 32mmItem Weight: 820gAuthor: Bart JacobsGenre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer ScienceRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
