In this paper we introduce a logic for parametric polymorphism. Just as LCF is a logic for the simply-typed λ-calculus with recursion and arithmetic, our logic is a logic for Sys...
This article presents the design of a new functional 2D image segmentation algorithm by cell merging in a subdivision, its proof of total correctness, and the derivation of an opt...
Abstract. Programming languages theory is full of problems that reduce to proving the consistency of a logic, such as the normalization of typed lambda-calculi, the decidability of...
We describe an approach to using one logic to reason about specifications written in a second logic. One level of logic, called the "reasoning logic", is used to state th...
The nominal approach to abstract syntax deals with the issues of bound names and α-equivalence by considering constructions and properties that are invariant with respect to permu...
