Abstract

We discuss Osius's [G. Osius, Categorical set theory: A characterisation of the category of sets, J. of Pure and Appl. Algebra 4 (1974) 79-119] concept of a recursive coalgebra of a functor from the perspective of programming semantics and give some new sufficient conditions for the recursiveness of a functor-coalgebra that are based on comonads, comonad-coalgebras and distributive laws.
