Restriction Categories

A restriction category is a category with a restriction operator which restricts each arrow to a subdomain. By analogy, the original category's arrows are partial, but the arrows of the subcategory obtained by restricting every arrow are total.

The restriction operator extends to a functor from restriction categories to categories:

Additionally, every restriction category forms a double category whose vertical arrows are the original partial arrows and horizontal arrows are the restricted total arrows. This construction also extends to a functor from restriction categories to double categories:

1 row where total_subcategory = "Top"
