To support reasoning about properties of programs operating with boolean values one needs theorem provers to be able to natively deal with the boolean sort. This way, program properties can be translated to first-order logic and theorem…

Resolution modulo is a first-order theorem proving method that can be applied both to first-order presentations of simple type theory (also called higher-order logic) and to set theory. When it is applied to some first-order presentations…

We present a type theory combining both linearity and dependency by stratifying typing rules into a level for logics and a level for programs. The distinction between logics and programs decouples their semantics, allowing the type system…

We scale layered modal type theory to dependent types, introducing DeLaM, dependent layered modal type theory. This type theory is novel in that we have one uniform type theory in which we can not only compose and execute code, but also…
