## Idea

Introduced by Hovey 1998, the notion of semimodel categories s a relaxation of that of model categories which allows for a largely similar theory.

The notion of a weak model category and premodel category relaxes the definition even further.

## Definition

(See Hovey 98, Theorem 3.3.)

A left semimodel category is a relative category equipped with a class of cofibrations and fibrations such that weak equivalences are closed under retracts and the 2-out-of-3 property, cofibrations have a left lifting property with respect to trivial fibrations, trivial cofibrations with cofibrant source have a left lifting property with respect to fibrations, and morphisms with cofibrant source can be factored as a cofibration followed by a fibration, either one of which can be further made trivial.

A right semimodel category is defined by passing to the opposite category.

## Examples

###### Example

(semimodel structure on semisimplicial sets) There exists a right semi-model structure on the category of semi-simplicial sets (Rooduijn 2018).

## References
