We introduce proper display calculi for basic monotonic modal logic, the conditional logic CK and a number of their axiomatic extensions. These calculi are sound, complete, conservative and enjoy cut elimination and subformula property. Our…
For those of us who generally live in the world of syntax, semantic proof techniques such as reducibility, realizability or logical relations seem somewhat magical despite -- or perhaps due to -- their seemingly unreasonable effectiveness.…
Prompted by an observation about the integral of exponential functions of the form $f(x)=\lambda e^{\alpha x}$, we investigate the possibility to exactly integrate families of functions generated from a given function by scaling or by…
We have previously published the Isabelle/HOL formalization of a general theory of syntax with bindings. In this companion paper, we instantiate the general theory to the syntax of lambda-calculus and formalize the development leading to…
We obtain a parametric normal form for any non-degenerate perturbation of the generalized saddle-node case of Bogdanov--Takens singularity. Explicit formulas are derived and greatly simplified for an efficient implementation in any computer…
In this paper, we prove a version of the typed B\"ohm theorem on the linear lambda calculus, which says, for any given types A and B, when two different closed terms s1 and s2 of A and any closed terms u1 and u2 of B are given, there is a…
We study the sequences of numbers corresponding to lambda terms of given sizes, where the size is this of lambda terms with de Bruijn indices in a very natural model where all the operators have size 1. For plain lambda terms, the sequence…
We present a calculus, called the scheme-calculus, that permits to express natural deduction proofs in various theories. Unlike $\lambda$-calculus, the syntax of this calculus sticks closely to the syntax of proofs, in particular, no names…
Using appropriate notation systems for proofs, cut-reduction can often be rendered feasible on these notations, and explicit bounds can be given. Developing a suitable notation system for Bounded Arithmetic, and applying these bounds, all…
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…
Lambek's non-associative syntactic calculus (NL) excels in its resource consciousness: the usual structural rules for weakening, contraction, exchange and even associativity are all dropped. Recently, there have been proposals for…
We present a system for the investigation of computational properties of categorial grammar parsing based on a labelled analytic tableaux theorem prover. This proof method allows us to take a modular approach, in which the basic grammar can…
We present $\lambda_B$, a quantum-control $\lambda$-calculus that refines previous basis-sensitive systems by allowing abstractions to be expressed with respect to arbitrary -- possibly entangled -- bases. Each abstraction and let construct…
The elementary affine lambda-calculus was introduced as a polyvalent setting for implicit computational complexity, allowing for characterizations of polynomial time and hyperexponential time predicates. But these results rely on type…
I give a proof of the confluence of combinatory strong reduction that does not use the one of lambda-calculus. I also give simple and direct proofs of a standardization theorem for this reduction and the strong normalization of simply typed…
The dependently-typed lambda calculus LF is often used as a vehicle for formalizing rule-based descriptions of object systems. Proving properties of object systems encoded in this fashion requires reasoning about formulas over LF typing…
We set up a parametrised monadic translation for a class of call-by-value functional languages, and prove a corresponding soundness theorem. We then present a series of concrete instantiations of our translation, demonstrating that a number…
There are two possible computational interpretations of second-order arithmetic: Girard's system F or Spector's bar recursion and its variants. While the logic is the same, the programs obtained from these two interpretations have a…
We introduce a non-wellfounded proof system for intuitionistic logic extended with inductive and co-inductive definitions, based on a syntax in which fixpoint formulas are annotated with explicit variables for ordinals. We explore the…
Effective potential for scalar $\lambda\phi^4$ theory is obtained using the exact renormalization group method which includes both the usual one-loop contribution as well as the dominant higher loop effects. Our numerical calculation…
