We explore recursive programming with extensible data types. Row types make the structure of data types first class, and can express a variety of type system features including record subtyping and combination of case branches. Our goal is…

With one exception, our previous work on recurrence extraction and denotational semantics has focused on a source language that supports inductive types and structural recursion. The exception handles general recursion via an initial…

Formal verification of floating-point arithmetic remains challenging due to non-linear arithmetic behavior and the tight coupling between control and datapath logic. Existing approaches often rely on high-level C models for equivalence…

This paper introduces a new functional expansion framework that extends classical ideas beyond the Taylor series. Unlike traditional Taylor expansions based on local polynomial approximations, the proposed approach arises from exact…

Whilst mathematicians assume classical reasoning principles by default they often context switch when working, restricting themselves to various forms of subclassical reasoning. This pattern is especially common amongst logicians and set…

We investigate feasible computation over a fairly general notion of data and codata. Specifically, we present a direct Bellantoni-Cook-style normal/safe typed programming formalism, RS1, that expresses feasible structural recursions and…

In this paper we consider the problem of proving properties of infinite behaviour of formalisms suitable to describe (infinite state) systems with recursion and parallelism. As a formal setting, we consider the framework of Process…

Elucidating the reasoning process with structured explanations from question to answer is crucial, as it significantly enhances the interpretability, traceability, and trustworthiness of question-answering (QA) systems. However, structured…

It is quite well-known from Kurt Godel's (1931) ground-breaking result on the Incompleteness Theorem that rudimentary relations (i.e., those definable by bounded formulae) are primitive recursive, and that primitive recursive functions are…

The class of type-two basic feasible functionals ($\mathtt{BFF}_2$) is the analogue of $\mathtt{FP}$ (polynomial time functions) for type-2 functionals, that is, functionals that can take (first-order) functions as arguments.…

Consider a normal function $f$ on the ordinals (i. e. a function $f$ that is strictly increasing and continuous at limit stages). By enumerating the fixed points of $f$ we obtain a faster normal function $f'$, called the derivative of $f$.…

Holderian functions have strong non-linearities, which result in singularities in the derivatives. This manuscript presents several fractional-order Taylor expansions of H\"olderian functions around points of non- differentiability. These…

This paper proposes a type-and-effect system called Teqt, which distinguishes terminating terms and total functions from possibly diverging terms and partial functions, for a lambda calculus with general recursion and equality types. The…

We explore similarities and differences between widely-used threshold resummation formalisms, employing electroweak boson production as an instructive example. Resummations based on both full QCD and soft-collinear effective theory (SCET)…

Dynamic languages such as Python and JavaScript widely use function decorators to extend behavior. In TypeScript, a common way to type such patterns uses Parameters<T> and ReturnType<T>. In practice, this idiom relies on a function-type…
