An Opfibration Account of Typed DPO and DPB Graph Transformation: Injective Productions

: The "in the large" properties of typed graph transformation systems in the double pushout framework and a double pullback variation of it, are reexamined for injective productions (for which the theory is strictly richer than in the general case). Preceding accounts utilising a fixed choice of pullbacks (whether adopted directly or via partial morphisms) are seen to be excessively sensitive to the precise graphs involved for comfort. The properties of a fixed choice of pullbacks are seen to be analogous to those of a splitting of an opfibration, and so a framework of graph transformations utilising unsplit opfibrations is constructed, which proves to be free of the excessive sensitivity noted. The new formulation exploits a triple category whose existence depends crucially on the injectivity of productions. In the new framework, graph grammars graph transition systems and graph derivation systems, computation grammars computation systems and computation sequence systems, are all cons..
