Summary: | The main purpose of this work is to study model category structures (in the sense of Quillen) on the categories of small categories and small symmetric multicategories enriched over an arbitrary monoidal model category. Among these model structures, there is one of the greatest importance in applications. We call it the Dwyer-Kan model structure (for enriched categories or enriched symmetric multicategories), and a large amount of this work is dedicated to establishing it for different choices of monoidal model categories. Another model structure that we study is what we call the fibred model structure, again for both small categories and small symmetric multicategories enriched over a suitable monoidal model category. === The other purpose of this work is to study model category structures on the category of comonoids in a monoidal model category.
