We give a characterization, with respect to a large class of models of untyped lambda-calculus, of those models that are fully abstract for head-normalization, i.e., whose equational theory is H* (observations for head normalization). An…

We study the strict type assignment for lambda-mu that is presented in [van Bakel'16]. We define a notion of approximants of lambda-mu-terms, show that it generates a semantics, and that for each typeable term there is an approximant that…

We study expressibility in infinitary languages of the modal operators associated with satisfiability of sentences of these languages in submodels and extensions of models. We give a syntactic criterion for expressibility in finitary…

It is known that Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is strictly less expressive than the Monadic First-Order Logic of Order and Metric (FO[<, +1]) when interpreted over timed words; this remains true even when the time domain is bounded a priori.…

We study expression learning problems with syntactic restrictions and introduce the class of finite-aspect checkable languages to characterize symbolic languages that admit decidable learning. The semantics of such languages can be defined…

We investigate the possibility of a semantic account of the execution time (i.e. the number of \beta_v-steps leading to the normal form, if any) for the shuffling calculus, an extension of Plotkin's call-by-value {\lambda}-calculus. For…

We present the design of a new functional programming language, MLTS, that uses the lambda-tree syntax approach to encoding bindings appearing within data structures. In this approach, bindings never become free nor escape their scope:…

We study the expressive power of the LARA language -- a recently proposed unified model for expressing relational and linear algebra operations -- both in terms of traditional database query languages and some analytic tasks often performed…

A predicate linear temporal logic LTL_{\lambda,=} without quantifiers but with predicate abstraction mechanism and equality is considered. The models of LTL_{\lambda,=} can be naturally seen as the systems of pebbles (flexible constants)…

We review the close relationship between abstract machines for (call-by-name or call-by-value) lambda-calculi (extended with Felleisen's C) and sequent calculus, reintroducing on the way Curien-Herbelin's syntactic kit expressing the…

Large language models have demonstrated impressive performance across many domains of mathematics and physics. One natural question is whether such models can support research in highly abstract theoretical fields such as quantum field…

Odrzywo\l{}ek defined a system Exp-Minus-Log (EML) that reduces all elementary functions over complex numbers down to a constant `$1$', and a single two place function $E(\alpha, \beta) = \exp(\alpha) - \log(\beta)$. This paper shows that…

Most modern libraries for regular expression matching allow back-references (i.e., repetition operators) that substantially increase expressive power, but also lead to intractability. In order to find a better balance between expressiveness…

Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach to proving correctness is the…

Motivated by algorithmic information theory, the problem of program discovery can help find candidates of underlying generative mechanisms of natural and artificial phenomena. The uncomputability of such inverse problem, however,…

Implicit models, an emerging model class, compute outputs by iterating a single parameter block to a fixed point. This architecture realizes an infinite-depth, weight-tied network that trains with constant memory, significantly reducing…

Algebraic lambda-calculi have been studied in various ways, but their semantics remain mostly untouched. In this paper we propose a semantic analysis of a general simply-typed lambda-calculus endowed with a structure of vector space. We…
