Definition

A functor is multirepresentable if it is a coproduct of representable functors.

Properties

A functor is multirepresentable if and only if each connected component of its category of elements has an initial object: this is Proposition 2.1.2 of Diers 1977.

Multirepresentable presheaves are called familially representable in:
