A survey of graphical languages for monoidal categories

P Selinger - New structures for physics, 2011 - Springer
This article is intended as a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and
their associated string diagrams. It is hoped that this will be useful not just to …

Face identification across different poses and illuminations with a 3d morphable model

V Blanz, S Romdhani, T Vetter - Proceedings of fifth IEEE …, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a novel approach for recognizing faces in images taken from different directions
and under different illumination. The method is based on a 3D morphable face model that …

Weakly distributive categories

JRB Cockett, RAG Seely - Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 1997 - Elsevier
There are many situations in logic, theoretical computer science, and category theory where
two binary operations—one thought of as a (tensor)“product”, the other a “sum”—play a key …

[PDF][PDF] Cartesian differential categories

RF Blute, JRB Cockett, RAG Seely - Theory and Applications of …, 2009 - emis.icm.edu.pl
This paper revisits the authors' notion of a differential category from a different perspective. A
differential category is an additive symmetric monoidal category with a comonad (a …

Differential categories

RF Blute, JRB Cockett, RAG Seely - Mathematical structures in …, 2006 - cambridge.org
Following work of Ehrhard and Regnier, we introduce the notion of a differential category: an
additive symmetric monoidal category with a comonad (a 'coalgebra modality') and a …

The algebra of entanglement and the geometry of composition

A Hadzihasanovic - arXiv preprint arXiv:1709.08086, 2017 - arxiv.org
String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes,
involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the …

Substructural logics on display

R Goré - Logic Journal of IGPL, 1998 - academic.oup.com
Substructural logics are traditionally obtained by dropping some or all of the structural rules
from Gentzen's sequent calculi LK or LJ. It is well known that the usual logical connectives …

Monoidal streams for dataflow programming

E Di Lavore, G de Felice, M Román - … of the 37th Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We introduce monoidal streams: a generalization of causal stream functions to monoidal
categories. In the same way that streams provide semantics to dataflow programming with …

Monoidal context theory

M Román - arXiv preprint arXiv:2404.06192, 2024 - arxiv.org
We universally characterize the produoidal category of monoidal lenses over a monoidal
category. In the same way that each category induces a cofree promonoidal category of …

Functorial boxes in string diagrams

PA Melliès - International Workshop on Computer Science Logic, 2006 - Springer
String diagrams were introduced by Roger Penrose as a handy notation to manipulate
morphisms in a monoidal category. In principle, this graphical notation should encompass …
