Idea

A cellular model category is a particularly convenient form of a model category.

It is similar to a combinatorial model category. (For the moment, see there for more details.)

Definition

A cellular model category is a cofibrantly generated model category such that there is a set of generating cofibrations I and a set of generating acyclic cofibrations J, such that

Examples

For C a cellular model category we have that

Applications

For cellular model categories C that are left proper model categories all left Bousfield localizations L SC at any set S of morphisms are guaranteed to exist.
