Abstract

An existing description of the cartesian closed topological hull of p MET ∞ , the category of extended pseudo-metric spaces and nonexpansive maps, is simplified, and as a result, this hull is shown to be a special instance of a “family” of cartesian closed topological subconstructs of p q s MET ∞ , the category of extended pseudo-quasi-semi-metric spaces (also known as quasi-distance spaces) and nonexpansive maps. Furthermore, another special instance of this family yields the cartesian closed topological hull of p q MET ∞ , the category of extended pseudo-quasi-metric spaces and nonexpansive maps (which has recently gained interest in theoretical computer science), and this hull is also shown to be a nice generalization of Prost , the category of preordered spaces and relation preserving maps.
