Stable functors

Here are some more names for stable functors, in addition to those provided by Paul Taylor. I believe that they first appeared in a paper by J.J. Kaput (Ill.J. Math. 16 (1972) 86-94) under the name "locally (left) adjunctable functor". I used "locally right adjoint functor" in my paper with Borger (Manuscripta Math. 19 (1976) 19-45) and in the more comprehensive paper (Comment. Math. Univ. St. Pauli 28 (1979) 179- 202). Both papers deal with the particular case of "locally reflective subcategories" for which there are new results to be found in a recent paper by Adamek and Volger ("On locally reflective categories of struct- ures").
