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.

Quantum Relaxations of CSP and Structure Isomorphism

Authors: Amin Karamlou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
We investigate quantum relaxations of two key decision problems in computer science: the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and the structure isomorphism problem. CSP asks whether a homomorphism exists between two relational structures, while structure isomorphism seeks an isomorphism between them. In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that many special cases of CSP can be reformulated in terms of the existence of perfect classical strategies in non-local games, a key topic of study in quantum information theory. These games have allowed us to study quantum advantage in relation to many important decision problems, such as the k-colouring problem, and the problem of solving binary constraint systems. Abramsky et al. (2017) have shown that all of these games can be seen as special instances of a non-local CSP game. Moreover, they show that perfect quantum strategies in this CSP game can be viewed as Kleisli morphisms of a graded monad on the category of relational structures, which they dub the quantum monad. In this way, the quantum monad provides a categorical characterisation of quantum advantage for the non-local CSP game. In this work we solidify and expand the results of Abramsky et al., answering several of their open questions. Firstly, we compare the definition of quantum graph homomorphisms arising from this work with an earlier definition of the concept due to Mančinska and Roberson and show that there are graphs which exhibit quantum advantage under one definition but not the other. Our second contribution is to extend the results of Abramsky et al. which only hold in the tensor product framework of quantum mechanics to the commuting operator framework. Next, we study a non-local structure isomorphism game, which generalises the well-studied graph isomorphism game. We show how the construction of the quantum monad can be refined to provide categorical semantics for quantum strategies in this game. This results in a category where morphisms coincide with quantum homomorphisms and isomorphisms coincide with quantum isomorphisms.

New Fault Domains for Conformance Testing of Finite State Machines

Authors: Frits Vaandrager and Ivo Melse

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
A fault domain reflects a tester’s assumptions about faults that may occur in an implementation and that need to be detected during testing. A fault domain that has been widely studied in the literature on black-box conformance testing is the class of finite state machines (FSMs) with at most m states. Numerous strategies for generating test suites have been proposed that guarantee fault coverage for this class. These so-called m-complete test suites grow exponentially in m-n, where n is the number of states of the specification, so one can only run them for small values of m-n. But the assumption that m-n is small is not realistic in practice. In his seminal paper from 1964, Hennie raised the challenge to design checking experiments in which the number of states may increase appreciably. In order to solve this long-standing open problem, we propose (much larger) fault domains that capture the assumption that all states in an implementation can be reached by first performing a sequence from some set A (typically a state cover for the specification), followed by k arbitrary inputs, for some small k. The number of states of FSMs in these fault domains grows exponentially in k. We present a sufficient condition for k-A-completeness of test suites with respect to these fault domains. Our condition implies k-A-completeness of two prominent m-complete test suite generation strategies, the Wp and HSI methods. Thus these strategies are complete for much larger fault domains than those for which they were originally designed, and thereby solve Hennie’s challenge. We show that three other prominent m-complete methods (H, SPY and SPYH) do not always generate k-A-complete test suites.

Active Learning of Upward-Closed Sets of Words ((Co)algebraic pearl)

Authors: Quentin Aristote

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
We give a new proof of a result from well quasi-order theory on the computability of bases for upwards-closed sets of words. This new proof is based on Angluin’s L* algorithm, that learns an automaton from a minimally adequate teacher. This relates in particular two results from the 1980s: Angluin’s L* algorithm, and a result from Valk and Jantzen on the computability of bases for upwards-closed sets of tuples of integers. Along the way, we describe an algorithm for learning quasi-ordered automata from a minimally adequate teacher, and extend a generalization of Valk and Jantzen’s result, encompassing both words and integers, to finitely generated monoids.

Cancellative Convex Semilattices

Authors: Ana Sokolova and Harald Woracek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
Convex semilattices are algebras that are at the same time a convex algebra and a semilattice, together with a distributivity axiom. These algebras have attracted some attention in the last years as suitable algebras for probability and nondeterminism, in particular by being the Eilenberg-Moore algebras of the nonempty finitely-generated convex subsets of the distributions monad. A convex semilattice is cancellative if the underlying convex algebra is cancellative. Cancellative convex algebras have been characterized by M. H. Stone and by H. Kneser: A convex algebra is cancellative if and only if it is isomorphic to a convex subset of a vector space (with canonical convex algebra operations). We prove an analogous theorem for convex semilattices: A convex semilattice is cancellative if and only if it is isomorphic to a convex subset of a Riesz space, i.e., a lattice-ordered vector space (with canonical convex semilattice operations).

Effectful Mealy Machines: Coalgebraic and Causal Traces (Invited Talk)

Authors: Filippo Bonchi, Elena Di Lavore, and Mario Román

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
We introduce effectful Mealy machines - a general notion of Mealy machine with global effects - and give them semantics in terms of both bisimilarity and traces. Bisimilarity of effectful Mealy machines is characterized syntactically, via free uniform feedback. Their traces are given a novel semantic coinductive universe in terms of effectful streams. We prove that this framework generalizes standard causal processes and captures existing flavours of Mealy machine, bisimilarity, and trace. This is an extended abstract for the manuscript Effectful Mealy Machines: Bisimulation and Trace that will appear in the proceedings of LiCS 2025 [Bonchi et al., 2025]; an extended version with proofs is also available (arxiv.org/abs/2410.10627) [Bonchi et al., 2025]. We additionally characterise causal processes as lax-natural transformations.

A Coinductive Representation of Computable Functions

Authors: Alvin Tang and Dirk Pattinson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
We investigate a representation of computable functions as total functions over 2^∞, the set of finite and infinite sequences over {0,1}. In this model, infinite sequences are interpreted as non-terminating computations whilst finite sequences represent the sum of their digits. We introduce a new definition principle, function space corecursion, that simultaneously generalises minimisation and primitive recursion. This defines the class of computable corecursive functions that is closed under composition and function space corecursion. We prove computable corecursive functions represent all partial recursive functions, and show that all computable corecursive functions are indeed computable by translation into the untyped λ-calculus.

Drawing and Recolouring

Authors: Bart Jacobs and Márk Széles

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
Drawing a ball from an urn filled with balls of different colours is one of the basic models in probability theory. The probability of drawing a ball of a particular colour is determined by the proportion / fraction of balls of that colour. This paper introduces a new stochastic model for such urns: draw a ball, recolour (repaint) it, and put it back into the urn. One can distinguish four modes of drawing-and-recolouring, namely whether done proportionally or uniformly (both for drawing and recolouring). These modes can be reformulated in financial terms as redistribution of wealth or in biological terms as evolutionary drift. The resulting four operations form a coalgebra for the distribution monad, on the set of multisets of a fixed size. In fact they form a Markov chain and even a hidden Markov model, in combination with the frequentist learning map as emission channel. This paper identifies fixed points, capturing stable situations, for these four modes of drawing-and-recolouring.

DAMA: A Dual Arbitration Mechanism for Mixed-Criticality Applications

Authors: Wafic Lawand and Rodolfo Pellizzoni

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)

Abstract
We discuss hardware resource management in mixed-criticality systems, where requestors may issue latency-critical (LTC) and non-latency-critical (NLTC) requests. LTC requests must adhere to strict latency bounds imposed by safety-critical applications, but timely servicing NLTC requests is necessary to maximize overall system performance in the average case. In this paper, we address this tradeoff for a shared memory resource by proposing DAMA, a dual arbitration mechanism that imposes an upper bound on the cumulative latency of LTC requests without unduly impacting NLTC performance. DAMA comprises a high-performance arbiter, a real-time arbiter, and a mechanism that constantly monitors the cumulative latency of requests suffered by each requestor. DAMA primarily executes in high-performance mode and only switches to real-time mode in the rare instances when its incorporated mechanism detects a violation of a task’s timing guarantee. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our arbitration scheme by adapting a predictable prefetcher that issues NLTC requests and attaching it to the L1 caches of our cores. We show both formally and experimentally that DAMA provides timing guarantees for LTC requests while processing other NLTC requests. We also demonstrate that with a negligible overhead of less than 1.5% on the cumulative latency bound of LTC requests, DAMA can achieve an equivalent average performance to a prefetcher that processes requests under a high-performance arbitration scheme.

Ohana Trees and Taylor Expansion for the λI-Calculus: No variable gets left behind or forgotten!

Authors: Rémy Cerda, Giulio Manzonetto, and Alexis Saurin

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

Abstract
Although the λI-calculus is a natural fragment of the λ-calculus, obtained by forbidding the erasure, its equational theories did not receive much attention. The reason is that all proper denotational models studied in the literature equate all non-normalizable λI-terms, whence the associated theory is not very informative. The goal of this paper is to introduce a previously unknown theory of the λI-calculus, induced by a notion of evaluation trees that we call "Ohana trees". The Ohana tree of a λI-term is an annotated version of its Böhm tree, remembering all free variables that are hidden within its meaningless subtrees, or pushed into infinity along its infinite branches. We develop the associated theories of program approximation: the first approach - more classic - is based on finite trees and continuity, the second adapts Ehrhard and Regnier’s Taylor expansion. We then prove a Commutation Theorem stating that the normal form of the Taylor expansion of a λI-term coincides with the Taylor expansion of its Ohana tree. As a corollary, we obtain that the equality induced by Ohana trees is compatible with abstraction and application. We conclude by discussing the cases of Lévy-Longo and Berarducci trees, and generalizations to the full λ-calculus.

The Cost of Skeletal Call-By-Need, Smoothly

Authors: Beniamino Accattoli, Francesco Magliocca, Loïc Peyrot, and Claudio Sacerdoti Coen

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

Abstract
Skeletal call-by-need is an optimization of call-by-need evaluation also known as "fully lazy sharing": when the duplication of a value has to take place, it is first split into "skeleton", which is then duplicated, and "flesh" which is instead kept shared. Here, we provide two cost analyses of skeletal call-by-need. Firstly, we provide a family of terms showing that skeletal call-by-need can be asymptotically exponentially faster than call-by-need in both time and space; it is the first such evidence, to our knowledge. Secondly, we prove that skeletal call-by-need can be implemented efficiently, that is, with bi-linear overhead. This result is obtained by providing a new smooth presentation of ideas by Shivers and Wand for the reconstruction of skeletons, which is then smoothly plugged into the study of an abstract machine following the distillation technique by Accattoli et al.

Unifying Boolean and Algebraic Descriptive Complexity

Authors: Baptiste Chanus, Damiano Mazza, and Morgan Rogers

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

Abstract
We introduce ultrarings, which simultaneously generalize commutative rings and Boolean lextensive categories. As such, they allow to blend together standard algebraic notions (from commutative algebra) and logical notions (from categorical logic), providing a unifying descriptive framework in which complexity classes over arbitrary rings (as in the Blum, Schub, Smale model) and usual, Boolean complexity classes may be captured in a uniform way.

Solving Guarded Domain Equations in Presheaves over Ordinals and Mechanizing It

Authors: Sergei Stepanenko and Amin Timany

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

Abstract
Constructing solutions to recursive domain equations is a well-known, important problem in the study of programs and programming languages. Mathematically speaking, the problem is finding a fixed point (up to isomorphism) of a suitable functor over a suitable category. A particularly useful instance, inspired by the step-indexing technique, is where the functor is over (a subcategory of) the category of presheaves over the ordinal ω and the functors are locally-contractive, also known as guarded functors. This corresponds to step-indexing over natural numbers. However, for certain problems, e.g., when dealing with infinite non-determinism, one needs to employ trans-finite step-indexing, i.e., consider presheaf categories over higher ordinals. Prior work on trans-finite step-indexing either only considers a very narrow class of functors over a particularly restricted subcategory of presheaves over higher ordinals, or treats the problem very generally working with sheaves over an arbitrary complete Heyting algebra with a well-founded basis. In this paper we present a solution to the guarded domain equations problem over all guarded functors over the category of presheaves over ordinal numbers, as well as its mechanization in the Rocq Prover. As the categories of sheaves and presheaves over ordinals are equivalent, our main contribution is simplifying prior work from the setting of the category of sheaves to the setting of the category of presheaves and mechanizing it - presheaves are more amenable to mechanization in a proof assistant.

∞-Categorical Models of Linear Logic

Authors: Eliès Harington and Samuel Mimram

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

Abstract
The notion of categorical model of linear logic is now well studied and established around the notion of linear-non-linear adjunction, which encompasses the earlier notions of Seely categories, Lafont categories and linear categories. These categorical structures have counterparts in the realm of ∞-categories, which can thus be thought of as weak forms of models of linear logic. The goal of this article is to formally introduce them and study their relationships. We show that ∞-linear-non-linear adjunctions still play the role of a unifying notion of model in this setting. Moreover, we provide a sufficient condition for a symmetric monoidal ∞-category to be Lafont. Finally, we illustrate our constructions by providing models: we construct linear-non-linear adjunctions that generalize well-known models in relations (and variants based on profunctors or spans), domains and vector spaces. In particular, we introduce a model based on spectra, a homotopical variant of abelian groups.

Low-Latency Real-Time Applications on Heterogeneous MPSoCs

Authors: Nicolas Coppik, Pascal Becker, and Marcus Ritter

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 128, Sixth Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2025)

Abstract
Heterogeneous Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs) that combine multiple, heterogeneous processing units are becoming increasingly popular for a wide range of applications, including industrial applications, where complex real-time applications can benefit from the performance and flexibility they offer. However, deploying real-time applications with low latency requirements across multiple processing units on such MPSoCs remains a challenging problem, particularly when communication between processors is required on a time-critical path. Existing solutions generally rely on the presence of at least one full-featured, general-purpose operating system on the device, and do not cater to the requirements of distributed, low-latency real-time applications. In this paper, we investigate the performance, with a focus on latency, of different options for communication between CPUs, including inter-processor interrupts and shared memory communication via different memories, on the popular Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ platform and propose a novel solution for communication between heterogeneous processing units that relies only on the availability of shared memory. Our solution is capable of achieving sub-microsecond latencies for signaling and the transfer of small amounts of data between processing units, making it suitable for deploying distributed, low-latency real-time applications.
