Cofibrantly generated model structures for functor calculus

Abstract

Model structures for many different kinds of functor calculus can be obtained by applying a theorem of Bousfield to a suitable category of functors. In this paper, we give a general criterion for when model categories obtained via this approach are cofibrantly generated. Our examples recover the homotopy functor and $n$-excisive model structures of Biedermann and Röndigs, with different proofs, but also include a model structure for the discrete functor calculus of Bauer, Johnson, and McCarthy.
