Abstract

For polynomial functors G , we show how to generalize the classical notion of regular expression to G -coalgebras. We introduce a language of expressions for describing elements of the final G -coalgebra and, analogously to Kleene's theorem, we show the correspondence between expressions and finite G -coalgebras.
