A many-valued modal logic is introduced that combines the usual Kripke frame semantics of the modal logic K with connectives interpreted locally at worlds by lattice and group operations over the real numbers. A labelled tableau system is…
Under the extension of Curry-Howard's correspondence to classical logic, Gentzen's NK and LK systems can be seen as syntax-directed systems of simple types respectively for Parigot's Lambda Mu Calculus and Curien-Herbelin's Lambda Bar Mu Mu…
Type-and-effect systems incorporate information about the computational effects, e.g., state mutation, probabilistic choice, or I/O, a program phrase may invoke alongside its return value. A semantics for type-and-effect systems involves a…
This paper studies the design of programming languages with handlers of higher-order effectful operations -- effectful operations that may take in computations as arguments or return computations as output. We present and analyse a core…
A non-deterministic call-by-need lambda-calculus \calc with case, constructors, letrec and a (non-deterministic) erratic choice, based on rewriting rules is investigated. A standard reduction is defined as a variant of left-most outermost…
We add to intuitionistic logic infinitely many classical disjunctive tautologies and use the Curry--Howard correspondence to obtain typed concurrent $\lambda$-calculi; each of them features a specific communication mechanism, including…
In previous works, a tableau calculus has been defined, which constitutes a decision procedure for hybrid logic with the converse and global modalities and a restricted use of the binder. This work shows how to extend such a calculus to…
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…
In this paper, we revisit Moggi's celebrated calculus of computational effects from the perspective of logic of monoidal action (actegory). Our development takes the following steps. Firstly, we perform proof-theoretic reconstruction of…
In any setting in which observable properties have a quantitative flavour, it is natural to compare computational objects by way of \emph{metrics} rather than equivalences or partial orders. This holds, in particular, for probabilistic…
We have designed a new logic programming language called LM (Linear Meld) for programming graph-based algorithms in a declarative fashion. Our language is based on linear logic, an expressive logical system where logical facts can be…
The one-variable fragment of any first-order logic may be considered as a modal logic, where the universal and existential quantifiers are replaced by a box and diamond modality, respectively. In several cases, axiomatizations of algebraic…
Describing systems in terms of choices and their resulting costs and rewards offers the promise of freeing algorithm designers and programmers from specifying how those choices should be made; in implementations, the choices can be realized…
In a previous paper, a tableau calculus has been presented, which constitute a decision procedure for hybrid logic with the converse and global modalities and a restricted use of the binder. This work extends such a calculus to multi-modal…
We present two deductively equivalent calculi for non-deterministic many-valued logics. One is defined by axioms and the other - by rules of inference. The two calculi are obtained from the truth tables of the logic under consideration in a…
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…
We introduce a proper multi-type display calculus for bilattice logic (with conflation) for which we prove soundness, completeness, conservativity, standard subformula property and cut-elimination. Our proposal builds on the product…
Cut-introduction is a technique for structuring and compressing formal proofs. In this paper we generalize our cut-introduction method for the introduction of quantified lemmas of the form $\forall x.A$ (for quantifier-free $A$) to a method…
This paper introduces a formal metalanguage called the lambda-q calculus for the specification of quantum programming languages. This metalanguage is an extension of the lambda calculus, which provides a formal setting for the specification…
Driven by the interest of reasoning about probabilistic programming languages, we set out to study a notion of unicity of normal forms for them. To provide a tractable proof method for it, we define a property of distribution confluence…
