Dinatural transformation

In category theory, a dinatural transformation $α$ between two functors

$S,T : \mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{op}}\times\mathrm{C}\to\mathrm{X},$

written

$\alpha : S\ddot\to T,$

is a function which to every object c of C associates an arrow

$\alpha_c : S(c,c)\to T(c,c)$ of X

and satisfies the following coherence property: for every morphism $f:c\to c'$ of C the diagram

commutes.

The composition of two dinatural transformations need not be dinatural.

End (category theory) — Not to be confused with the use of End to represent (categories of) endomorphisms. In category theory, an end of a functor is a universal dinatural transformation from an object e of X to S. More explicitly, this is a pair (e,ω), where e is an… … Wikipedia
