Gómez (*) Chief Editor International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam (*) [email protected] The International Journal of Community Currency Research was founded 23 years ago, when researchers on this topic found a hard time in getting published in other peer reviewed journals. In these two decades the academic publishing industry has exploded and most papers can be published internationally with a minimal peer-review scrutiny, for a fee. Moreover, complementary currency research is not perceived as extravagant as it used to be, so it has now become possible to get published in journals with excellent reputation. In that context, the IJCCR is still the first point of contact of practitioners and new researchers on this topic. It offers open access, free publication, and it is run on a voluntary basis by established scholars in the field. In any of the last five years, it has received about 25000 views.

Lyon, CNRS, ENS de Lyon, UCB Lyon 1, LIP, UMR 5668 Insa Stucke Institut f¨urInformatik, Christian-Albrechts-Universit¨atzu Kiel, Germany Abstract In this paper we present an extension of a Coq library for relation algebras and related algebraic structures. So far, the library did not provide any tools about the cardinalities of relations. Thus we add an algebraic axiomatisation of cardinalities. Its point-free nature makes it possible to reason about cardinal purely algebraically, which is well-suited for mechanisation. We present several applications, in the area of graph theory and program verification.
