A Mechanized First-Order Theory of Algebraic Data Types with Pattern Matching

Authors: Joshua M. Cohen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Algebraic data types (ADTs) and pattern matching are widely used to write elegant functional programs and to specify program behavior. These constructs are critical to most general-purpose interactive theorem provers (e.g. Lean, Rocq/Coq), first-order SMT-based deductive verifiers (e.g. Dafny, VeriFast), and intermediate verification languages (e.g. Why3). Such features require layers of compilation - in Rocq, pattern matches are compiled to remove nesting, while SMT-based tools further axiomatize ADTs with a first-order specification. However, these critical steps have been omitted from prior formalizations of such toolchains (e.g. MetaRocq). We give the first proved-sound sophisticated pattern matching compiler (based on Maranget’s compilation to decision trees) and first-order axiomatization of ADTs, both based on Why3 implementations. We prove the soundness of exhaustiveness checking, extending pen-and-paper proofs from the literature, and formulate a robustness property with which we find an exhaustiveness-related bug in Why3. We show that many of our proofs could be useful for reasoning about any first-order program verifier supporting ADTs.

Computation First: Rebuilding Constructivism with Effects (Invited Talk)

Authors: Liron Cohen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
Constructive logic and type theory have traditionally been grounded in pure, effect-free model of computation. This paper argues that such a restriction is not a foundational necessity but a historical artifact, and it advocates for a broader perspective of effectful constructivism, where computational effects, such as state, non-determinism, and exceptions, are directly and internally embedded in the logical and computational foundations. We begin by surveying examples where effects reshape logical principles, and then outline three approaches to effectful constructivism, focusing on realizability models: Monadic Combinatory Algebras, which extend classical partial combinatory algebras with effectful computation; Evidenced Frames, a flexible semantic structure capable of uniformly capturing a wide range of effects; and Effectful Higher-Order Logic (EffHOL), a syntactic approach that directly translates logical propositions into specifications for effectful programs. We further illustrate how concrete type theories can internalize effects, via the family of type theories TT^□_C. Together, these works demonstrate that effectful constructivism is not merely possible but a natural and robust extension of traditional frameworks.

A Semantics of 𝕂 into Dedukti

Authors: Amélie Ledein, Valentin Blot, and Catherine Dubois

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 269, 28th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2022)

Abstract
𝕂 is a semantical framework for formally describing the semantics of programming languages thanks to a BNF grammar and rewriting rules on configurations. It is also an environment that offers various tools to help programming with the languages specified in the formalism. For example, it is possible to execute programs thanks to the generated interpreter, or to check their properties thanks to the provided automatic theorem prover called the KProver. 𝕂 is based on la Matching Logic, a first-order logic with an application and fixed-point operators, extended with symbols to encode equality, typing and rewriting. This specific la Matching Logic theory is called Kore. Dedukti is a logical framework having for main goal the interoperability of proofs between different formal proof tools. Several translators to Dedukti exist or are under development, in order to automatically translate formalizations written, for instance, in Coq or PVS. Dedukti is based on the λΠ-calculus modulo theory, a λ-calculus with dependent types and extended with a primitive notion of computation defined by rewriting rules. The flexibility of this logical framework allows to encode many theories ranging from first-order logic to the Calculus of Constructions. In this article, we present a paper formalization of the translation from 𝕂 into Kore, and a paper formalization and an automatic translation tool, called KaMeLo, from Kore to Dedukti in order to execute programs in Dedukti.

Diller-Nahm Bar Recursion

Authors: Valentin Blot

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 260, 8th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2023)

Abstract
We present a generalization of Spector’s bar recursion to the Diller-Nahm variant of Gödel’s Dialectica interpretation. This generalized bar recursion collects witnesses of universal formulas in sets of approximation sequences to provide an interpretation to the double-negation shift principle. The interpretation is presented in a fully computational way, implementing sets via lists. We also present a demand-driven version of this extended bar recursion manipulating partial sequences rather than initial segments. We explain why in a Diller-Nahm context there seems to be several versions of this demand-driven bar recursion, but no canonical one.

Realizability with Stateful Computations for Nonstandard Analysis

Authors: Bruno Dinis and Étienne Miquey

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 183, 29th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2021)

Abstract
In this paper we propose a new approach to realizability interpretations for nonstandard arithmetic. We deal with nonstandard analysis in the context of intuitionistic realizability, focusing on the Lightstone-Robinson construction of a model for nonstandard analysis through an ultrapower. In particular, we consider an extension of the λ-calculus with a memory cell, that contains an integer (the state), in order to indicate in which slice of the ultrapower ℳ^{ℕ} the computation is being done. We shall pay attention to the nonstandard principles (and their computational content) obtainable in this setting. We then discuss how this product could be quotiented to mimic the Lightstone-Robinson construction.

Classical Extraction in Continuation Models

Authors: Valentin Blot

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 52, 1st International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2016)

Abstract
We use the control features of continuation models to interpret proofs in first-order classical theories. This interpretation is suitable for extracting algorithms from proofs of Pi^0_2 formulas. It is fundamentally different from the usual direct interpretation, which is shown to be equivalent to Friedman's trick. The main difference is that atomic formulas and natural numbers are interpreted as distinct objects. Nevertheless, the control features inherent to the continuation models permit extraction using a special "channel" on which the extracted value is transmitted at toplevel without unfolding the recursive calls. We prove that the technique fails in Scott domains, but succeeds in the refined setting of Laird's bistable bicpos, as well as in game semantics.
