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…
The formal system $\lambda\delta$ is a typed lambda calculus derived from $\Lambda_\infty$, aiming to support the foundations of Mathematics that require an underlying theory of expressions (for example the Minimal Type Theory). The system…
We give an adequate, concrete, categorical-based model for Lambda-S, which is a typed version of a linear-algebraic lambda calculus, extended with measurements. Lambda-S is an extension to first-order lambda calculus unifying two approaches…
The higher order matching problem is the problem of determining whether a term is an instance of another in the simply typed $\lambda$-calculus, i.e. to solve the equation a = b where a and b are simply typed $\lambda$-terms and b is…
We introduce a simple extension of the $\lambda$-calculus with pairs---called the distributive $\lambda$-calculus---obtained by adding a computational interpretation of the valid distributivity isomorphism $A \Rightarrow (B\wedge C)\ \…
Recent developments in the categorical foundations of universal algebra have given fresh impetus to an understanding of the lambda calculus coming from categorical logic: an interpretation is a semi-closed algebraic theory. Scott's…
The algebraic $\lambda$-calculus is an extension of the ordinary $\lambda$-calculus with linear combinations of terms. We establish that two ordinary $\lambda$-terms are equivalent in the algebraic $\lambda$-calculus iff they are…
We design a new provably efficient algorithm for episodic reinforcement learning with generalized linear function approximation. We analyze the algorithm under a new expressivity assumption that we call "optimistic closure," which is…
We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic $\lambda$-calculus. The type system accounts for the linear-algebraic aspects of this extension of $\lambda$-calculus: it is able to statically describe the linear combinations of terms…
We answer Klop and de Vrijer's question whether adding surjective-pairing axioms to the extensional lambda calculus yields a conservative extension. The answer is positive. As a byproduct we obtain a "syntactic" proof that the extensional…
In the present article, we extend the fragment of inductive formulas for the hybrid language L(@) in [8] including a McKinsey-like formula, and show that every formula in the extended class has a first-order correspondent, by modifying the…
Augmented Lagrangian and optimistic primal--dual methods stabilize equality-constrained optimization through seemingly different mechanisms: the former adds constraint-dependent primal curvature, while the latter adds dual memory. Recent…
We bring forward a logical system of transition algebras that enhances many-sorted first-order logic using features from dynamic logics. The sentences we consider include compositions, unions, and transitive closures of transition…
In this paper, we establish a priori estimates for the positive solutions to a higher-order fractional Laplace equation on a bounded domain by a blowing-up and rescaling argument. To overcome the technical difficulty due to the high-order…
We present a proof-theoretic analysis of the logic NL$\lambda$ (Barker \& Shan 2014, Barker 2019). We notably introduce a novel calculus of proof nets and prove it is sound and complete with respect to the sequent calculus for the logic. We…
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…
We consider a first-order logic for the integers with addition. This logic extends classical first-order logic by modulo-counting, threshold-counting and exact-counting quantifiers, all applied to tuples of variables (here, residues are…
Slot and van Emde Boas' weak invariance thesis states that reasonable machines can simulate each other within a polynomially overhead in time. Is lambda-calculus a reasonable machine? Is there a way to measure the computational complexity…
Submodular optimization generalizes many classic problems in combinatorial optimization and has recently found a wide range of applications in machine learning (e.g., feature engineering and active learning). For many large-scale…
We study the expressive power of subrecursive probabilistic higher-order calculi. More specifically, we show that endowing a very expressive deterministic calculus like G\"odel's $\mathbb{T}$ with various forms of probabilistic choice…
