Using Isabelle/HOL, we verify a union-find data structure with an explain operation due to Nieuwenhuis and Oliveras. We devise a simpler, more naive version of the explain operation whose soundness and completeness is easy to verify. Then,…

Category theory provides a compact method of encoding mathematical structures in a uniform way, thereby enabling the use of general theorems on, for example, equivalence and universal constructions. In this article we develop the method of…

First-order linear temporal logic (FOLTL) is a flexible and expressive formalism capable of naturally describing complex behaviors and properties. Although the logic is in general highly undecidable, the idea of using it as a specification…

This article serves as a preliminary introduction to the design of a new, open-source applied and computational category theory framework, named Categorica, built on top of the Wolfram Language. Categorica allows one to configure and…

We present a domain-specific type theory for constructions and proofs in category theory. The type theory axiomatizes notions of category, functor, profunctor and a generalized form of natural transformations. The type theory imposes an…

People care about decision outcomes and how decisions get made, both when making decisions and reflecting on decisions. But formalizing the full range of normative concerns that drive decisions is an open challenge. We introduce Axiomatic…

We formulate and discuss a general axiomatic theory of arbitrary objects. This theory is expressed in a simple first-order language without modal operators, and it is governed by classical logic.

A generalized set theory (GST) is like a standard set theory but also can have non-set structured objects that can contain other structured objects including sets. This paper presents Isabelle/HOL support for GSTs, which are treated as type…

We construct a compact closed category out of any symmetric monoidal category by freely adding adjoints to its objects. The morphisms of the completion are defined as string diagrams annotated by objects and morphisms from the original…

This position statement looks back on two decades of work on shallow embeddings of non-classical logics in classical higher-order logic (HOL), a line of research that expanded into a range of logic embeddings in HOL and inspired the LogiKEy…

We present a unifying framework for type systems for process calculi. The core of the system provides an accurate correspondence between essentially functional processes and linear logic proofs; fragments of this system correspond to…

In this paper, we describe the formalization of the axiom of choice and several of its famous equivalent theorems in Morse-Kelley set theory. These theorems include Tukey's lemma, the Hausdorff maximal principle, the maximal principle,…

We know extensions of first order logic by quantifiers of the kind "there are uncountable many ...", "most ..." with new axioms and appropriate semantics. Related are operations such as "set of x, such that ...", Hilbert's…

We present a unified theory for formal mathematical systems including recursive systems closely related to formal grammars, including the predicate calculus as well as a formal induction principle. We introduce recursive systems generating…

A modeloid, a certain set of partial bijections, emerges from the idea to abstract from a structure to the set of its partial automorphisms. It comes with an operation, called the derivative, which is inspired by Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"iss\'e…

We propose a formalization of generic algorithms that includes analog algorithms. This is achieved by reformulating and extending the framework of abstract state machines to include continuous-time models of computation. We prove that every…
