Multi-(co)equalizers #

A multiequalizer is an equalizer of two morphisms between two products. Since both products and equalizers are limits, such an object is again a limit. This file provides the diagram whose limit is indeed such an object. In fact, it is well-known that any limit can be obtained as a multiequalizer. The dual construction (multicoequalizers) is also provided.

Projects #

Prove that a multiequalizer can be identified with an equalizer between products (and analogously for multicoequalizers).

Prove that the limit of any diagram is a multiequalizer (and similarly for colimits).
