| Jan 4, 2015 at 15:13 | comment | added | Fernando | Thank you. I will take a better look. However I couldn't find anything in nLab before: the problem is the relation of Gray's quasi- Kan extension of a 2-functor and the (strict/enriched) Kan extension of the same 2-functor. Or, more generally, I am trying to understand weak notions of Kan extensions and their relations with the (strict) Kan extension! However, as I said, I noticed my recurrent difficulty in 2-category theory - then I decided to ask here about the literature: for this concern, your answer (as David White's answer) helps a lot my lack of literature knowledge. Thank you | |

| Jan 4, 2015 at 14:36 | comment | added | Fernando | Now, It is about Kan extensions and quasi-Kan extensions!! However, I had problems on bicategorical limits before - so far, I could solve using some random articles! But what would be the reference you had in mind about bicategorical/2-categorical limits? | |
