The final coalgebra for the finite power-set functor was described by Worrell who also proved that the final chain converges inω+ωsteps. We describe the stepωas the set of saturated trees, a concept equivalent to the modally saturated trees introduced by K. Fine in the 1970s in his study of modal logic. And for the bounded power-set functorsPλ, whereλis an infinite regular cardinal, we prove that the construction needs preciselyλ+ωsteps. We also generalize Worrell’s result toM-labeled trees for a commutative monoidM, yielding a final coalgebra for the corresponding functorℳfstudied by H.-P. Gumm and T. Schröder. We describe the final chain of the power-set functor by introducing the concept ofi-saturated tree for all ordinalsi, and then prove that foriof cofinalityω, thei-th step in the final chain consists of alli-saturated, strongly extensional trees.
