This paper proposes new mathematical models of the untyped Lambda-mu calculus. One is called the stream model, which is an extension of the lambda model, in which each term is interpreted as a function from streams to individual data. The…
We consider the non-deterministic extension of the call-by-value lambda calculus, which corresponds to the additive fragment of the linear-algebraic lambda-calculus. We define a fine-grained type system, capturing the right linearity…
We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic lambda-calculus. The type system accounts for the part of the language emulating linear operators and vectors, i.e. it is able to statically describe the linear combinations of terms…
Lambeks Syntactic Calculus, commonly referred to as the Lambek calculus, was innovative in many ways, notably as a precursor of linear logic. But it also showed that we could treat our grammatical framework as a logic (as opposed to a…
This paper concerns the explicit treatment of substitutions in the lambda calculus. One of its contributions is the simplification and rationalization of the suspension calculus that embodies such a treatment. The earlier version of this…
We introduce a linear infinitary $\lambda$-calculus, called $\ell\Lambda_{\infty}$, in which two exponential modalities are available, the first one being the usual, finitary one, the other being the only construct interpreted…
In this paper, we introduce two focussed sequent calculi, LKp(T) and LK+(T), that are based on Miller-Liang's LKF system for polarised classical logic. The novelty is that those sequent calculi integrate the possibility to call a decision…
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 this paper, we define a new realizability semantics for the simply typed lambda-mu-calculus. We show that if a term is typable, then it inhabits the interpretation of its type. We also prove a completeness result of our realizability…
The lambda calculus is a universal programming language. It can represent the computable functions, and such offers a formal counterpart to the point of view of functions as rules. Terms represent functions and this allows for the…
This paper is a contribution to the search for efficient and high-level mathematical tools to specify and reason about (abstract) programming languages or calculi. Generalising the reduction monads of Ahrens et al., we introduce transition…
Cirquent calculus is a proof system with inherent ability to account for sharing subcomponents in logical expressions. Within its framework, this article constructs an axiomatization CL18 of the basic propositional fragment of computability…
We define sound and adequate denotational and operational semantics for the stochastic lambda calculus. These two semantic approaches build on previous work that used similar techniques to reason about higher-order probabilistic programs,…
In this paper, we extend the sequent calculus LKF into a calculus LK(T), allowing calls to a decision procedure. We prove cut-elimination of LK(T).
We introduce and study graphic lambda calculus, a visual language which can be used for representing untyped lambda calculus, but it can also be used for computations in emergent algebras or for representing Reidemeister moves of locally…
This thesis embarks on a comprehensive exploration of formal computational models that underlie typed programming languages. We focus on programming calculi, both functional (sequential) and concurrent, as they provide a compelling rigorous…
When considering a sequent-style proof system for quantum programs, there are certain elements of quantum mechanics that we may wish to capture, such as phase, dynamics of unitary transformations, and measurement probabilities. Traditional…
Quantum lambda calculus has been studied mainly as an idealized programming language -- the evaluation essentially corresponds to a deterministic abstract machine. Very little work has been done to develop a rewriting theory for quantum…
We create a sequence version of calculus. First, we define equivalence, some fundamental operations, differential, and integral for sequences. Then, we propose sequence versions of identity function, power function, exponential function,…
We introduce the structural resource lambda-calculus, a new formalism in which strongly normalizing terms of the lambda-calculus can naturally be represented, and at the same time any type derivation can be internally rewritten to its…
