In the lambda calculus a term is solvable iff it is operationally relevant. Solvable terms are a superset of the terms that convert to a final result called normal form. Unsolvable terms are operationally irrelevant and can be equated…

This is the second in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"{o}f's meaning explanation of dependent type theory to account for higher-dimensional types. We build on the cubical realizability framework for simple types developed in Part I,…

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…

We present the design, implementation, and foundation of a verifier for higher-order functional programs with generics and recursive data types. Our system supports proving safety and termination using preconditions, postconditions and…

We show that any multiple-valued function can be represented by a linear lambda term typed in a second-order polymorphic type system, using two distinct styles. The first is a circuit style, which mimics combinational circuits in switching…

We define a class of computable functions over real numbers using functional schemes similar to the class of primitive and partial recursive functions defined by G\"odel and Kleene. We show that this class of functions can also be…

We show that equivalence of deterministic top-down tree-to-string transducers is decidable, thus solving a long standing open problem in formal language theory. We also present efficient algorithms for subclasses: polynomial time for total…

Dependently typed proof assistant rely crucially on definitional equality, which relates types and terms that are automatically identified in the underlying type theory. This paper extends type theory with definitional functor laws,…

We present RSLR, an implicit higher-order characterization of the class PP of those problems which can be decided in probabilistic polynomial time with error probability smaller than 1/2. Analogously, a (less implicit) characterization of…

We introduce a new decidable fragment of first-order logic with equality, which strictly generalizes two already well-known ones -- the Bernays-Sch\"onfinkel-Ramsey (BSR) Fragment and the Monadic Fragment. The defining principle is the…

The complexity class $NP$ can be logically characterized both through existential second order logic $SO\exists$, as proven by Fagin, and through simulating a Turing machine via the satisfiability problem of propositional logic SAT, as…

In this paper we explore fundamental concepts in computational complexity theory and the boundaries of algorithmic decidability. We examine the relationship between complexity classes \textbf{P} and \textbf{NP}, where $L \in \textbf{P}$…

In this work we investigate the computational complexity of the satisfiability problem of sub-fragments of the Bernays-Schoenfinkel class of first-order logic, also known as EPR (Effectively Propositional). While Bernays-Schoenfinkel is…

Propositional temporal logic over the real number time flow is finitely axiomatisable, but its first-order counterpart is not recursively axiomatisable. We study the logic that combines the propositional axiomatisation with the usual axioms…

We investigate completeness and parametricity for a general class of realizability semantics for System F defined in terms of closure operators over sets of $\lambda$-terms. This class includes most semantics used for normalization…

Recently, Baltag and van Benthem arXiv:2103.14946 [cs.LO] introduced a new decidable logic of functional dependence (LFD) with local dependence formulas and dependence quantifiers. The language is interpreted over dependence models, which…

The defunctionalization translation that eliminates higher-order functions from programs forms a key part of many compilers. However, defunctionalization for dependently-typed languages has not been formally studied. We present the first…

Two types of explanations have been receiving increased attention in the literature when analyzing the decisions made by classifiers. The first type explains why a decision was made and is known as a sufficient reason for the decision, also…
