Idea

A gs-monoidal category is a symmetric monoidal category that supplies cocommutative comonoid objects.

For now, see §6.6 of Corradini & Gadducci 1999.

References

The notion originates under the name S-monoidal categories, motivated by term rewriting, in:

after which it was renamed to gs-monoidal categories, in:

The notion was reintroduced under the name CD-categories (for copy and discard) in:
