| Abstract: | A subset systemZassigns to each partially ordered setPa certain collectionZ(P) of subsets. In this paper, a new kind of subset systems called directable subset systems is introduced. For a directable subset system Z, the concepts of F Z-way-below relation and F Z-domain are introduced. The well-known Scott topology is naturally generalized to the Z-level and the resulting topology is calledF Z-Scott topology, and the continuous functions with respect to this topology are characterized by preserving the suprema of directed Z-sets. Then, we mainly consider a generalization of the cartesian closedness of the categories DCPO of directed complete posets, BF of bifinite domains and FS ofF Sdomains to the Z-level. Corresponding to them, it is proved that, for a suitable subset system Z, the categories FZCPO ofZ-complete posets,FSFZ of finitely separated FZ-domains andBFFZ of bifiniteF Z-domains are all cartesian closed. Some examples of these categories are given. |
