From Objects to Diagrams for Ranges of Functors

Description:

"This work introduces tools from the field of category theory that make it possible to tackle a number of representation problems that have remained unsolvable to date (e.g. the determination of the range of a given functor). The basic idea is:if a functor lifts many objects, then it also lifts many (poset-indexed) diagrams."--Page 4 of cover.
