Initial Algebra Semantics Is Enough!
Initial algebra semantics is a cornerstone of the theory of modern functional programming languages. For each inductive data type, it provides a fold combinator encapsulating struc...

Initial Algebra Semantics for Cyclic Sharing Structures
Terms are a concise representation of tree structures. Since they can be naturally defined by an inductive type, they offer data structures in functional programming and mechanis...

Fibrational Induction Rules for Initial Algebras
This paper provides an induction rule that can be used to prove properties of data structures whose types are inductive, i.e., are carriers of initial algebras of functors. Our res...

Build, Augment and Destroy, Universally
Abstract. We give a semantic footing to the fold/build syntax of programming with inductive types, covering shortcut deforestation, based on a universal property. Specifically, we...

Foundations for structured programming with GADTs
GADTs are at the cutting edge of functional programming and become more widely used every day. Nevertheless, the semantic foundations underlying GADTs are not well understood. In ...
