In the one-way model of measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC), computation proceeds via measurements on a resource state. So-called flow conditions ensure that the overall computation is deterministic in a suitable sense, with Pauli…
Undecidability of various properties of first order term rewriting systems is well-known. An undecidable property can be classified by the complexity of the formula defining it. This gives rise to a hierarchy of distinct levels of…
We introduce an intersection type system for the lambda-mu calculus that is invariant under subject reduction and expansion. The system is obtained by describing Streicher and Reus's denotational model of continuations in the category of…
Calculi with control operators have been studied to reason about control in programming languages and to interpret the computational content of classical proofs. To make these calculi into a real programming language, one should also…
Confluence of a nondeterministic program ensures a functional input-output relation, freeing the programmer from considering the actual scheduling strategy, and allowing optimized and perhaps parallel implementations. The more general…
We study the semantics of an untyped lambda-calculus equipped with operators representing read and write operations from and to a global store. We adopt the monadic approach to model side-effects and treat read and write as algebraic…
A version of the situation calculus in which situations are represented as first-order terms is presented. Fluents can be computed from the term structure, and actions on the situations correspond to rewrite rules on the terms. Actions that…
In commutative algebra, the theory of Gr\"obner bases enables one to compute in any finitely generated algebra over a given computable field. For non-finitely generated algebras however, other methods have to be pursued. For instance, it…
We introduce a call-by-name lambda-calculus $\lambda Jn$ with generalized applications which is equipped with distant reduction. This allows to unblock $\beta$-redexes without resorting to the standard permutative conversions of generalized…
This paper deals with the regularization of the sum of functions defined on a locally convex spaces through their closed-convex hulls in the bidual space. Different conditions guaranteeing that the closed-convex hull of the sum is the sum…
Inspired by a recent graphical formalism for lambda-calculus based on linear logic technology, we introduce an untyped structural lambda-calculus, called lambda j, which combines actions at a distance with exponential rules decomposing the…
We study an extension of Plotkin's call-by-value lambda-calculus via two commutation rules (sigma-reductions). These commutation rules are sufficient to remove harmful call-by-value normal forms from the calculus, so that it enjoys elegant…
We extend the formalisation of confluence results in Kleene algebras to a formalisation of coherent confluence proofs. For this, we introduce the structure of higher globular Kleene algebra, a higher-dimensional generalisation of modal and…
Coherence theorems for covariant structures carried by a category have traditionally relied on the underlying term rewriting system of the structure being terminating and confluent. While this holds in a variety of cases, it is not a…
We introduce two extensions of the $\lambda$-calculus with a probabilistic choice operator, $\Lambda_\oplus^{cbv}$ and $\Lambda_\oplus^{cbn}$, modeling respectively call-by-value and call-by-name probabilistic computation. We prove that…
We show confluence of a conditional term rewriting system CL-pc${}^1$, which is an extension of Combinatory Logic by Boolean constants. This solves problem 15 from the RTA list of open problems. The proof has been fully formalised in the…
I give a proof of the confluence of combinatory strong reduction that does not use the one of lambda-calculus. I also give simple and direct proofs of a standardization theorem for this reduction and the strong normalization of simply typed…
This paper proposes new mathematical models of the untyped Lambda-mu calculus. One is called the stream model, which is an extension of the lambda model, in which each term is interpreted as a function from streams to individual data. The…
In this paper we investigate the $\lambda$ -calculus, a $\lambda$-calculus enriched with resource control. Explicit control of resources is enabled by the presence of erasure and duplication operators, which correspond to thinning and…
In a functional calculus, the so called \Omega-rule states that if two terms P and Q applied to any closed term <i>N</i> return the same value (i.e. PN = QN), then they are equal (i.e. P = Q holds). As it is well known, in the…
