As shown by Tsukada and Ong, simply-typed, normal and eta-long resource terms correspond to plays in Hyland-Ong games, quotiented by Melli\`es' homotopy equivalence. The original proof of this inspiring result is indirect, relying on the…
We show that an intuitionistic version of counting propositional logic corresponds, in the sense of Curry and Howard, to an expressive type system for the probabilistic event lambda-calculus, a vehicle calculus in which both call-by-name…
Proof assistants and programming languages based on type theories usually come in two flavours: one is based on the standard natural deduction presentation of type theory and involves eliminators, while the other provides a syntax in…
Step-indexed semantic models of types were proposed as an alternative to purely syntactic safety proofs using subject-reduction. Building upon the work by Appel and others, we introduce a generalized step-indexed model for the call-by-name…
We present a general and user-extensible equality checking algorithm that is applicable to a large class of type theories. The algorithm has a type-directed phase for applying extensionality rules and a normalization phase based on…
We advocate the use of de Bruijn's universal abstraction $\lambda^\infty$ for the quantification of schematic variables in the predicative setting and we present a typed $\lambda$-calculus featuring the quantifier $\lambda^\infty$…
Computation can be considered by taking into account two dimensions: extensional versus intensional, and sequential versus concurrent. Traditionally sequential extensional computation can be captured by the lambda-calculus. However, recent…
This paper describes an automatic termination checker for a generic first-order call-by-value language in ML style. We use the fact that value are built from variants and tuples to keep some information about how arguments of recursive call…
In sequential functional languages, sized types enable termination checking of programs with complex patterns of recursion in the presence of mixed inductive-coinductive types. In this paper, we adapt sized types and their metatheory to the…
Although unification can be used to implement a weak form of $\beta$-reduction, several linguistic phenomena are better handled by using some form of $\lambda$-calculus. In this paper we present a higher order feature description calculus…
In data analysis, unexpected results often prompt researchers to revisit their procedures to identify potential issues. While some researchers may struggle to identify the root causes, experienced researchers can often quickly diagnose…
Wu's positive $\lambda$-calculus is a recent call-by-value $\lambda$-calculus with sharing coming from Miller and Wu's study of the proof-theoretical concept of focalization. Accattoli and Wu showed that it simplifies a technical aspect of…
We briefly review the inside-outside and EM algorithm for probabilistic context-free grammars. As a result, we formally prove that inside-outside estimation is a dynamic-programming variant of EM. This is interesting in its own right, but…
The substitution lemma is a renowned theorem within the realm of lambda-calculus theory and concerns the interactional behaviour of the metasubstitution operation. In this work, we augment the lambda-calculus's grammar with an uninterpreted…
Under the extension of Curry-Howard's correspondence to classical logic, Gentzen's NK and LK systems can be seen as syntax-directed systems of simple types respectively for Parigot's Lambda Mu Calculus and Curien-Herbelin's Lambda Bar Mu Mu…
Abstract machines for the strong evaluation of lambda-terms (that is, under abstractions) are a mostly neglected topic, despite their use in the implementation of proof assistants and higher-order logic programming languages. This paper…
We consider square matrices over $\mathbb{C}$ satisfying an identity relating their eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors re-proved and discussed by Denton, Parker, Tao and Zhang, called the eigenvector-eigenvalue identity. We…
Type and effect systems are a tool to analyse statically the behaviour of programs with effects. We present a proof based on the so called reducibility candidates that a suitable stratification of the type and effect system entails the…
We introduce a probabilistic extension of Levy's Call-By-Push-Value. This extension consists simply in adding a " flipping coin " boolean closed atomic expression. This language can be understood as a major generalization of Scott's PCF…
Researchers and practitioners operating on a limited budget face the cost-performance trade-off dilemma. The challenging decision often centers on whether to use a large LLM with better performance or a smaller one with reduced costs. This…
