General Recursion and Formal Topology

Logic in Computer Science 2010-12-23 v1

Abstract

It is well known that general recursion cannot be expressed within Martin-Loef's type theory and various approaches have been proposed to overcome this problem still maintaining the termination of the computation of the typable terms. In this work we propose a new approach to this problem based on the use of inductively generated formal topologies.
