The Algebra of Directed Acyclic Graphs

Published 2 Mar 2013 in math.CT | (1303.0376v1)

Abstract: We give an algebraic presentation of directed acyclic graph structure, introducing a symmetric monoidal equational theory whose free PROP we characterise as that of finite abstract dags with input/output interfaces. Our development provides an initial-algebra semantics for dag structure.
