Holmstrom Cohomological functor

A functor from a triangulated category to an abelian category is called cohomological if for any distinguished triangle (X,Y,Z), the sequence F(X)→F(Y)→F(Z)F(X) \to F(Y) \to F(Z) is exact.

See more under Triangulated category. See also the very last paragraph in Hovey’s book, where he seems to define a different (more general???) notion of cohomology functor.
