The lambda-PRK-calculus is a typed lambda-calculus that exploits the duality between the notions of proof and refutation to provide a computational interpretation for classical propositional logic. In this work, we extend lambda-PRK to…
The Lambek calculus provides a foundation for categorial grammar in the form of a logic of concatenation. But natural language is characterized by dependencies which may also be discontinuous. In this paper we introduce the displacement…
Non-Archimedean mathematics (in particular, nonstandard analysis) allows to construct some useful models to study certain phenomena arising in PDE's; for example, it allows to construct generalized solutions of differential equations and…
The theory of regular cost functions is a quantitative extension to the classical notion of regularity. A cost function associates to each input a non-negative integer value (or infinity), as opposed to languages which only associate to…
We apply the topology of convergence on compact sets to define unpredictable functions [5, 6]. The topology is metrizable and easy for applications with integral operators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, the existence and…
The Lambek calculus is a well-known logical formalism for modelling natural language syntax. The original calculus covered a substantial number of intricate natural language phenomena, but only those restricted to the context-free setting.…
This paper presents a logical approach to the translation of functional calculi into concurrent process calculi. The starting point is a type system for the {\pi}-calculus closely related to linear logic. Decompositions of intuitionistic…
We present the guarded lambda-calculus, an extension of the simply typed lambda-calculus with guarded recursive and coinductive types. The use of guarded recursive types ensures the productivity of well-typed programs. Guarded recursive…
A syntactical proof is given that all functions definable in a certain affine linear typed lambda-calculus with iteration in all types are polynomial time computable. The proof provides explicit polynomial bounds that can easily be…
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…
In these notes, uniform convergence on compacta is studied on the space of functions taking values in the set of finite Borel measures. Related limit theorems, including L\'evy's continuity theorem and functional limit theorems for…
We introduce a method to evaluate untyped lambda terms by combining the theory of traversals, a term-tree traversing technique inspired from Game Semantics, with judicious use of the eta-conversion rule of the lambda calculus. The traversal…
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…
In this paper, we define an intuitionistic version of Computation Tree Logic. After explaining the semantic features of intuitionistic logic, we examine how these characteristics can be interesting for formal verification purposes.…
The objective of this paper is to develop a functional programming language for quantum computers. We develop a lambda calculus for the classical control model, following the first author's work on quantum flow-charts. We define a…
The $\lambda$-superposition calculus is a successful approach to proving higher-order formulas. However, some parts of the calculus are extremely explosive, notably due to the higher-order unifier enumeration and the functional…
The algebraic $\lambda$-calculus is an extension of the ordinary $\lambda$-calculus with linear combinations of terms. We establish that two ordinary $\lambda$-terms are equivalent in the algebraic $\lambda$-calculus iff they are…
In this survey, we present in a unified way the categorical and syntactical settings of coherent differentiation introduced recently, which shows that the basic ideas of differential linear logic and of the differential lambda-calculus are…
For any increasing function $f: {\Bbb N} \rightarrow {\Bbb N}_{\ge 2}$ which takes only finitely many distinct values, a connected finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ is constructed, with the property that $\text{fin.dim}_n\, \Lambda =…
The notion of non-deterministic logical matrix (where connectives are interpreted as multi-functions) preserves many good properties of traditional semantics based on logical matrices (where connectives are interpreted as functions) whilst…
