Recent investigations of lax algebras - in generalization of Barr's relational algebras -make an essential use of lax extensions of monad functors on Set to the category Rel(V) of sets and V-relations (where V is a unital quantale). For a given monad there may be many such lax extensions, and different constructions appear in the literature. The aim of this article is to shed a unifying light on these lax extensions, and present a symptomatic situation in which distinct monads yield isomorphic categories of lax algebras.
