Mathematical induction is a fundamental tool in computer science and mathematics. Henkin initiated the study of formalization of mathematical induction restricted to the setting when the base case B is set to singleton set containing 0 and…

We present a novel dependent linear type theory in which the multiplicity of some variable-i.e., the number of times the variable can be used in a program-can depend on other variables. This allows us to give precise resource annotations to…

We construct a left semi-model structure on the category of intensional type theories (precisely, on $\mathrm{CxlCat_{Id,1,\Sigma(,\Pi_{ext})}}$). This presents an $\infty$-category of such type theories; we show moreover that there is an…

Homotopy type theory (HoTT) can be seen as a generalisation of structural set theory, in the sense that 0-types represent structural sets within the more general notion of types. For material set theory, we also have concrete models as…

We investigate inductive types in type theory, using the insights provided by homotopy type theory and univalent foundations of mathematics. We do so by introducing the new notion of a homotopy-initial algebra. This notion is defined by a…

The conventional general syntax of indexed families in dependent type theories follow the style of "constructors returning a special case", as in Agda, Lean, Idris, Coq, and probably many other systems. Fording is a method to encode indexed…

We give a model of set theory based on multisets in homotopy type theory. The equality of the model is the identity type. The underlying type of iterative sets can be formulated in Martin-L\"of type theory, without Higher Inductive Types…

GADTs were introduced in Haskell's eco-system more than a decade ago, but their interaction with several mainstream features such as type classes and functional dependencies has a lot of room for improvement. More specifically, for some…

In the context of dependent type theory, we show that coinductive predicates have an equivalent topological counterpart in terms of coinductively generated positivity relations, introduced by G. Sambin to represent closed subsets in…

Terms are a concise representation of tree structures. Since they can be naturally defined by an inductive type, they offer data structures in functional programming and mechanised reasoning with useful principles such as structural…

In this paper, I establish the categorical structure necessary to interpret dependent inductive and coinductive types. It is well-known that dependent type theories \`a la Martin-L\"of can be interpreted using fibrations. Modern theorem…

We present an elaboration of inductive definitions down to a universe of datatypes. The universe of datatypes is an internal presentation of strictly positive families within type theory. By elaborating an inductive definition -- a…

In the impredicative type theory of System F ({\lambda}2), it is possible to create inductive data types, such as natural numbers and lists. It is also possible to create coinductive data types such as streams. They work well in the sense…

There are multiple ways to formalise the metatheory of type theory. For some purposes, it is enough to consider specific models of a type theory, but sometimes it is necessary to refer to the syntax, for example in proofs of canonicity and…

We present the first definition of strictly associative and unital $\infty$-category. Our proposal takes the form of a type theory whose terms describe the operations of such structures, and whose definitional equality relation enforces…

This paper introduces an ML / Haskell like programming language with nested inductive and coinductive algebraic datatypes called \chariot. Functions are defined by arbitrary recursive definitions and can thus lead to non-termination and…

We present a model of dependent type theory (DTT) with Pi-, 1-, Sigma- and intensional Id-types, which is based on a slight variation of the category of AJM-games and history-free winning strategies. The model satisfies Streicher's criteria…

We extend our approach to abstract syntax (with binding constructions) through modules and linearity. First we give a new general definition of arity, yielding the companion notion of signature. Then we obtain a modularity result as…

We present new induction principles for the syntax of dependent type theories, which we call relative induction principles. The result of the induction principle relative to a functor F into the syntax is stable over the codomain of F. We…
