A roadmap to the unification of weak categorical structures:
transformations and equivalences among the various notions of
pseudo-algebra
<P><PRE>

Abstract: A quick tour of the constructions/equivalences monoidal category ::
representable multicategory :: covariantly fibrant multicategory ::
pseudo-monoid in Cat, and their general pseudo-algebra versions, with the
simplest proof of coherence for lax-idempotent 2-monads.
