Language models now provide an interface to express and often solve general problems in natural language, yet their ultimate computational capabilities remain a major topic of scientific debate. Unlike a formal computer, a language model is…

This is a survey of {\lambda}-calculi that, through the Curry-Howard isomorphism, correspond to constructive modal logics. We cover the prehistory of the subject and then concentrate on the developments that took place in the 1990s and…

Reversible computation opens up the possibility of overcoming some of the hardware's current physical limitations. It also offers theoretical insights, as it enriches multiple paradigms and models of computation, and sometimes…

Ill-founded (or non-wellfounded) proof systems have emerged as a natural framework for inductive and coinductive reasoning. In such systems, soundness relies on global correctness criteria, such as the progressivity condition. Ensuring that…

We define the syntax and reduction relation of a recursively typed lambda calculus with a parallel case-function (a parallel conditional). The reduction is shown to be confluent. We interpret the recursive types as information systems in a…

Modern language models reason within bounded context, an inherent constraint that poses a fundamental barrier to long-horizon reasoning. We identify recursion as a core principle for overcoming this barrier, and propose recursive models as…

Session types are a typed approach to message-passing concurrency, where types describe sequences of intended exchanges over channels. Session type systems have been given strong logical foundations via Curry-Howard correspondences with…

In prior work, we showed that logic programming compilation can be given a proof-theoretic justification for generic abstract logic programming languages, and demonstrated this technique in the case of hereditary Harrop formulas and their…

Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a declarative committed-choice programming language with a strong relationship to linear logic. Its generalization CHR with Disjunction (CHRv) is a multi-paradigm declarative programming language that…

Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…

We present a recursive formulation of the Horn algorithm for deciding the satisfiability of propositional clauses. The usual presentations in imperative pseudo-code are informal and not suitable for simple proofs of its main properties. By…

Previous results on proving confluence for Constraint Handling Rules are extended in two ways in order to allow a larger and more realistic class of CHR programs to be considered confluent. Firstly, we introduce the relaxed notion of…

The Curry-Howard Correspondence has a long history, and still is a topic of active research. Though there are extensive investigations into the subject, there doesn't seem to be a definitive formulation of this result in the level of…

We study the problem of automated hypersafety verification of infinite-state recursive programs. We propose an infinite class of product programs, specifically designed with recursion in mind, that reduce the hypersafety verification of a…

We present a proof system for a multimodal logic, based on our previous work on a multimodal Martin-Loef type theory. The specification of modes, modalities, and implications between them is given as a mode theory, i.e. a small 2-category.…

We introduce a functional calculus with simple syntax and operational semantics in which the calculi introduced so far in the Curry-Howard correspondence for Classical Logic can be faithfully encoded. Our calculus enjoys confluence without…

We study counting propositional logic as an extension of propositional logic with counting quantifiers. We prove that the complexity of the underlying decision problem perfectly matches the appropriate level of Wagner's counting hierarchy,…

We give a linear nested sequent calculus for the basic normal tense logic Kt. We show that the calculus enables backwards proof-search, counter-model construction and syntactic cut-elimination. Linear nested sequents thus provide the…
