Existential types are reconstructed in terms of small reflective subuniverses and dependent sums. The folklore decomposition detailed here gives rise to a particularly simple account of first-class modules as a mode of use of traditional…
In this paper we give an ordinal analysis of the theory of second order arithmetic. We do this by working with proof trees -- that is, "deductions" which may not be well-founded. Working in a suitable theory, we are able to represent…
In this paper, we investigate the order types of reflection orders on irreducible affine Weyl groups. We show that they are intimately related to the Catalan combinatorics. We explicitly describe all of those order types and show that these…
We establish new operational formulae of Burchnall type for the complex disk polynomials (generalized Zernike polynomials). We then use them to derive some interesting identities involving these polynomials. In particular, we establish…
In this work, we explore proof theoretical connections between sequent, nested and labelled calculi. In particular, we show a general algorithm for transforming a class of nested systems into sequent calculus systems, passing through linear…
In this article, intended for the Handbook of Recursion Theory, we survey recursion theory on the ordinal numbers, with sections devoted to $\alpha$-recursion theory, $\beta$-recursion theory and the study of the admissibility spectrum.
In this paper, we give some recurrence formula and new and interesting identities for the poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials which are derived from umbral calculus.
We present modular implicits, an extension to the OCaml language for ad-hoc polymorphism inspired by Scala implicits and modular type classes. Modular implicits are based on type-directed implicit module parameters, and elaborate…
We describe the countable ordinals in terms of iterations of Mostowski collapsings. This gives a proof-theoretic bound of definable countable ordinals in the Zermelo-Fraenkel's set theory ZF.
We introduce ordinal collapsing principles that are inspired by proof theory but have a set theoretic flavor. These principles are shown to be equivalent to iterated $\Pi^1_1$-comprehension and the existence of admissible sets, over weak…
A new mathematical notation is proposed for the iteration of functions. It facilitates the application of the iteration of functions in mathematical and logical expressions, definitions of sets, and formulations of algorithms. Illustrations…
We will use analytic function theory and Fourier analysis to establish a characterization for some classical umbral calculus, which will focus on the generalization of the evaluation function. Although we cannot cover all the umbral…
This is a translation of Heinz Bachmann's influential paper, wherein the Bachmann-Howard ordinal is defined, and some general considerations given on systems of ordinal functions. Permission to post has been granted by the editors of…
We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic $\lambda$-calculus. The type system accounts for the linear-algebraic aspects of this extension of $\lambda$-calculus: it is able to statically describe the linear combinations of terms…
Notion of an open system of second order is introduced. Characteristic function for such an open system is obtained. Model representations of a quadratic non-self-adjoint operator pencil are found.
We present a propositional modal logic $\sf WC$, which includes a logical $verum$ constant $\top$ but does not have any propositional variables. Furthermore, the only connectives in the language of $\sf WC$ are consistency-operators…
We provide direct elementary proofs of several explicit expressions for Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. As a byproduct of our method of proof, we provide natural definitions for generalized Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of…
Self-adjoint Dirac systems and subclasses of canonical systems, which generalize Dirac systems are studied. Explicit and global solutions of direct and inverse problems are obtained. A local Borg-Marchenko-type theorem, integral…
I propose a class of non-positional numeral systems where numbers are represented by Dyck words, with the systems arising from a recursive extension of prime factorization. After describing two proper subsets of the Dyck language capable of…
This paper constructs a cirquent calculus system and proves its soundness and completeness with respect to the semantics of computability logic (see http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~giorgi/cl.html). The logical vocabulary of the system consists of…
