We present the system $\mathtt{d}$, an extended type system with lambda-typed lambda-expressions. It is related to type systems originating from the Automath project. $\mathtt{d}$ extends existing lambda-typed systems by an existential…
Approximation semantics capture the observable behaviour of {\lambda}-terms, with B\"ohm Trees and Taylor Expansion standing as two central paradigms. Although conceptually different, these notions are related via the Commutation Theorem,…
Ten years ago, it was shown that nominal techniques can be used to design coalgebraic data types with variable binding, so that alpha-equivalence classes of infinitary terms are directly endowed with a corecursion principle. We introduce…
The lambda calculus is a widely accepted computational model of higher-order functional pro- grams, yet there is not any direct and universally accepted cost model for it. As a consequence, the computational difficulty of reducing lambda…
The asymptotic behavior of the effective mass $m_{\rm eff}(\Lambda)$ of the so-called Nelson model in quantum field theory is considered, where $\Lambda$ is an ultraviolet cutoff parameter of the model. Let $m$ be the bare mass of the…
We prove that if cf(lambda) > aleph_0 and 2^{cf(lambda)}<lambda, then lambda->(lambda,omega+1)^2.
We introduce a category-theoreticabstraction of a syntax with auxiliary functions, called an admissiblemonad morphism. Relying on an abstract form of structural recursion,we then design generic tools to construct admissible monad…
We define a notion of model for the $\lambda$$\Pi$-calculus modulo theory and prove a soundness theorem. We then define a notion of super-consistency and prove that proof reduction terminates in the $\lambda$$\Pi$-calculus modulo any…
We study Milner's encoding of the call-by-value $\lambda$-calculus into the $\pi$-calculus. We show that, by tuning the encoding to two subcalculi of the $\pi$-calculus (Internal $\pi$ and Asynchronous Local $\pi$), the equivalence on…
Existing Curry-Howard interpretations of call-by-value evaluation for the $\lambda$-calculus are either based on ad-hoc modifications of intuitionistic proof systems or involve additional logical concepts such as classical logic or linear…
A self-consistent (SC) renormalization group approach of the effective medium kind has been developed and applied to the solution of the Ising model (IM). A renormalization group equation in the local potential approximation (LPA) derived…
Wu's positive $\lambda$-calculus is a recent call-by-value $\lambda$-calculus with sharing coming from Miller and Wu's study of the proof-theoretical concept of focalization. Accattoli and Wu showed that it simplifies a technical aspect of…
In this paper we introduce several quantitative methods for the lambda-calculus based on partial metrics, a well-studied variant of standard metric spaces that have been used to metrize non-Hausdorff topologies, like those arising from…
We show that call-by-need is observationally equivalent to weak-head needed reduction. The proof of this result uses a semantical argument based on a (non-idempotent) intersection type system called $\mathcal{V}$. Interestingly, system…
In this paper, we present a typed lambda calculus ${\bf SILL}(\lambda)_{\Sigma}$, a type-theoretic version of intuitionistic linear logic with subexponentials, that is, we have many resource comonadic modalities with some interconnections…
On the topic of probabilistic rewriting, there are several works studying both termination and confluence of different systems. While working with a lambda calculus modelling quantum computation, we found a system with probabilistic…
It has been known since Ehrhard and Regnier's seminal work on the Taylor expansion of $\lambda$-terms that this operation commutes with normalization: the expansion of a $\lambda$-term is always normalizable and its normal form is the…
We address the problem of complementing higher-order patterns without repetitions of existential variables. Differently from the first-order case, the complement of a pattern cannot, in general, be described by a pattern, or even by a…
We introduce the structural resource lambda-calculus, a new formalism in which strongly normalizing terms of the lambda-calculus can naturally be represented, and at the same time any type derivation can be internally rewritten to its…
We sketch a tentative proof of P-completeness for the $\beta$-convertibility problem on untyped planar (a.k.a. ordered or non-commutative) $\lambda$-terms.
