We introduce a first proofs-as-parallel-programs correspondence for classical logic. We define a parallel and more powerful extension of the simply typed lambda calculus corresponding to an analytic natural deduction based on the excluded…
Lambda-calculi come with no fixed evaluation strategy. Different strategies may then be considered, and it is important that they satisfy some abstract rewriting property, such as factorization or normalization theorems. In this paper we…
We observe that normalization by evaluation for simply-typed lambda-calculus with weak coproducts can be carried out in a weak bi-cartesian closed category of presheaves equipped with a monad that allows us to perform case distinction on…
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…
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…
The Functional Machine Calculus (FMC) was recently introduced as a generalization of the lambda-calculus to include higher-order global state, probabilistic and non-deterministic choice, and input and output, while retaining confluence. The…
We study Milner's lambda-calculus with partial substitutions. Particularly, we show confluence on terms and metaterms, preservation of \b{eta}-strong normalisation and characterisation of strongly normalisable terms via an intersection…
The formal system lambda-delta is a typed lambda calculus that pursues the unification of terms, types, environments and contexts as the main goal. lambda-delta takes some features from the Automath-related lambda calculi and some from 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…
A notion of probabilistic lambda-calculus usually comes with a prescribed reduction strategy, typically call-by-name or call-by-value, as the calculus is non-confluent and these strategies yield different results. This is a break with one…
Since Val Tannen's pioneer work on the combination of simply-typed lambda-calculus and first-order rewriting (LICS'88), many authors have contributed to this subject by extending it to richer typed lambda-calculi and rewriting paradigms,…
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…
We present a novel method of computing the beta-normal eta-long form of a simply-typed lambda-term by constructing traversals over a variant abstract syntax tree of the term. In contrast to beta-reduction, which changes the term by…
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…
We present a linearity theorem for a proof language of intuitionistic multiplicative additive linear logic, incorporating addition and scalar multiplication. The proofs in this language are linear in the algebraic sense. This work is part…
We present $\lambda_B$, a quantum-control $\lambda$-calculus that refines previous basis-sensitive systems by allowing abstractions to be expressed with respect to arbitrary -- possibly entangled -- bases. Each abstraction and let construct…
We extend the {\lambda}-calculus with constructs suitable for relational and functional-logic programming: non-deterministic choice, fresh variable introduction, and unification of expressions. In order to be able to unify…
We present some lambda calculus with explicit substitutions and named variables. The characteristic feature of this calculus is as follows: renaming of bound variables when performing substitutions is done using special reductions and may…
We study an untyped lambda calculus with quantum data and classical control. This work stems from previous proposals by Selinger and Valiron and by Van Tonder. We focus on syntax and expressiveness, rather than (denotational) semantics. We…
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…
