Abstract

Functors which are determined, up to natural isomorphism, by their values on objects, are called DVO (Defined by Values on Objects). We focus on the collection of polynomial functors on a category of sets (classes), and we give a characterization theorem of the DVO functors over such collection of functors. Moreover, we show that the (κ-bounded) powerset functor is not DVO.
