Twenty years after its introduction by Ehrhard and Regnier, differentiation in $\lambda$-calculus and in linear logic is now a celebrated tool. In particular, it allows to establish a Taylor expansion formula for various $\lambda$-calculi,…
It has been known since Ehrhard and Regnier's seminal work on the Taylor expansion of $\lambda$-terms that this operation commutes with normalization: the expansion of a $\lambda$-term is always normalizable and its normal form is the…
This paper presents the derivation of an executable Krivine abstract machine from a small step interpreter for the simply typed lambda calculus in the dependently typed programming language Agda.
A famous result by Milner is that the lambda-calculus can be simulated inside the pi-calculus. This simulation, however, holds only modulo strong bisimilarity on processes, i.e. there is a slight mismatch between beta-reduction and how it…
The multiset based relational model of linear logic induces a semantics of the type free lambda-calculus, which corresponds to a non-idempotent intersection type system, System R. We prove that, in System R, the size of the type derivations…
The $\lambda\mu$-calculus plays a central role in the theory of programming languages as it extends the Curry-Howard correspondence to classical logic. A major drawback is that it does not satisfy B\"ohm's Theorem and it lacks the…
Originating in Girard's Linear logic, Ehrhard and Regnier's Taylor expansion of $\lambda$-terms has been broadly used as a tool to approximate the terms of several variants of the $\lambda$-calculus. Many results arise from a Commutation…
We show that the normal form of the Taylor expansion of a $\lambda$-term is isomorphic to its B\"ohm tree, improving Ehrhard and Regnier's original proof along three independent directions. First, we simplify the final step of the proof by…
We study the semantics of a resource-sensitive extension of the lambda calculus in a canonical reflexive object of a category of sets and relations, a relational version of Scott's original model of the pure lambda calculus. This calculus…
The theory of the call-by-value lambda-calculus relies on weak evaluation and closed terms, that are natural hypotheses in the study of programming languages. To model proof assistants, however, strong evaluation and open terms are…
Relevance vector machine (RVM) can be seen as a probabilistic version of support vector machines which is able to produce sparse solutions by linearly weighting a small number of basis functions instead using all of them. Regardless of a…
Can the $\lambda$-calculus be considered a reasonable computational model? Can we use it for measuring the time $\textit{and}$ space consumption of algorithms? While the literature contains positive answers about time, much less is known…
In our paper "Uniformity and the Taylor expansion of ordinary lambda-terms" (with Laurent Regnier), we studied a translation of lambda-terms as infinite linear combinations of resource lambda-terms, from a calculus similar to Boudol's…
We define two extensions of the typed linear lambda-calculus that yield minimal Turing-complete systems. The extensions are based on unbounded recursion in one case, and bounded recursion with minimisation in the other. We show that both…
We present an abstract machine that implements a full-reducing (a.k.a. strong) call-by-value strategy for pure $\lambda$-calculus. It is derived using Danvy et al.'s functional correspondence from Cr\'egut's KN by: (1) deconstructing KN to…
In this paper, we study a non-Markovian generalized relativistic Langevin equation (GRLE). We show that when the memory kernel is a sum of exponentials, the GRLE is equivalent to a Markovian system with added variables. We establish the…
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…
Accattoli, Dal Lago, and Vanoni have recently proved that the space used by the Space KAM, a variant of the Krivine abstract machine, is a reasonable space cost model for the lambda-calculus accounting for logarithmic space, solving a…
We prove that orthogonal constructor term rewrite systems and lambda-calculus with weak (i.e., no reduction is allowed under the scope of a lambda-abstraction) call-by-value reduction can simulate each other with a linear overhead. In…
The lambda calculus since more than half a century is a model and foundation of functional programming languages. However, lambda expressions can be evaluated with different reduction strategies and thus, there is no fixed cost model nor…
