sequential colimits
A category has sequential colimits if it has colimits of diagrams of the following form:
- Dual property: sequential limits
- Related properties: filtered colimits
- nLab Link
Relevant implications
- coequalizers and countable coproducts implies sequential colimits
- filtered colimits implies sequential colimits
- finite coproducts and sequential colimits implies countable coproducts
- self-dual and sequential colimits implies sequential limits
- self-dual and sequential limits implies sequential colimits
