A Uniform Cut-Elimination Theorem for Linear Logics with Fixed Points and Super Exponentials

Authors: Alexis Saurin and Esaïe Bauer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
In the realm of light logics deriving from linear logic, a number of variants of exponential rules have been investigated. The profusion of such proof systems induces the need for cut-elimination theorems for each logic, the proofs of which may be redundant. A number of approaches in proof theory have been adopted to cope with this need. In the present paper, we consider this issue from the point of view of enhancing linear logic with least and greatest fixed-points and considering such a variety of exponential connectives. Our main contribution is to provide a uniform cut-elimination theorem for a parametrized system with fixed-points by combining two approaches: cut-elimination proofs by reduction (or translation) to another system and the identification of sufficient conditions for cut-elimination. More precisely, we examine a broad range of systems, taking inspiration from Nigam and Miller’s subexponentials and from the first author and Laurent’s super exponentials. Our work is motivated, on the one hand, by Baillot’s work on light logics with recursive types and on the other hand by our recent work on the proof theory of the modal μ-calculus.

Useful Call-by-Value: A Semantic Interpretation via Quantitative Types

Authors: Pablo Barenbaum, Delia Kesner, and Mariana Milicich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
Useful evaluation is an optimised evaluation mechanism for functional programming languages. It relies on representing terms with sharing and imposing a restricted notion of useful substitutions, that intuitively disallows copying subterms that do not contribute to the progress of the computation. In particular, useful call-by-value evaluation optimises the standard call-by-value strategy by preserving its original semantics. This preservation result has been shown by means of syntactical rewriting techniques, difficult to adapt to alternative variants of the calculi at play. In this work, we present the first semantic model of useful call-by-value evaluation through the non-idempotent intersection type system 𝒰. Our first contribution is a characterisation of termination for useful call-by-value evaluation via system 𝒰. That is, a term is typable in system 𝒰 if and only if it terminates in the useful call-by-value strategy. As a second contribution, we show that system 𝒰 provides a quantitative interpretation for useful call-by-value evaluation, offering exact step-count information for program evaluation. Our third contribution is that termination in call-by-value and useful call-by-value are equivalent. This ensures in particular that call-by-value, which is (potentially) erasing, and useful call-by-value, which is non-erasing, are observationally equivalent. Even though the specification of the operational semantics of useful evaluation is highly complex, system 𝒰 is notably simple. As far as we know, system 𝒰 is one of the scarce quantitative type systems capturing exactly the substitution step-count for variables and abstractions in an open call-by-value strategy.

A Verified Cost Model for Call-By-Push-Value

Authors: Zhuo Zoey Chen, Johannes Åman Pohjola, and Christine Rizkallah

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

Abstract
The call-by-push-value λ-calculus allows for syntactically specifying the order of evaluation as part of the term language. Hence, it serves as a unifying language for embedding various evaluation strategies including call-by-value and call-by-name. Given the impact of call-by-push-value, it is remarkable that its adequacy as a model for computational complexity theory has not yet been studied. In this paper, we show that the call-by-push-value λ-calculus is reasonable for both time and space complexity. A reasonable cost model can encode other reasonable cost models with polynomial overhead in time and constant factor overhead in space. We achieve this by encoding call-by-push-value λ-calculus into Turing machines, following a simulation strategy by Forster et al.; for the converse direction, we prove that Levy’s encoding of the call-by-value λ-calculus has reasonable complexity bounds. The main results have been formalised in the HOL4 theorem prover.

Barendregt’s Theory of the λ-Calculus, Refreshed and Formalized

Authors: Adrienne Lancelot, Beniamino Accattoli, and Maxime Vemclefs

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

Abstract
Barendregt’s book on the untyped λ-calculus refines the inconsistent view of β-divergence as representation of the undefined via the key concept of head reduction. In this paper, we put together recent revisitations of some key theorems laid out in Barendregt’s book, and we formalize them in the Abella proof assistant. Our work provides a compact and refreshed presentation of the core of the book. The formalization faithfully mimics pen-and-paper proofs. Two interesting aspects are the manipulation of contexts for the study of contextual equivalence and a formal alternative to the informal trick at work in Takahashi’s proof of the genericity lemma. As a by-product, we obtain an alternative definition of contextual equivalence that does not mention contexts.

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.

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.

Unsolvable Terms in Filter Models (Invited Talk)

Authors: Mariangiola Dezani-Ciancaglini, Paola Giannini, and Furio Honsell

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

Abstract
Intersection type theories (itt’s) and filter models, i.e. λ-calculus models generated by itt’s, are reviewed in full generality. In this framework, which subsumes most λ-calculus models in the literature based on Scott-continuous functions, we discuss the interpretation of unsolvable terms. We give a necessary, but not sufficient, condition on an itt for the interpretation of some unsolvable term to be non-trivial in the filter model it generates. This result is obtained building on a type theoretic characterisation of the fine structure of unsolvables.

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.

Separating Terms by Means of Multi Types, Coinductively

Authors: Adrienne Lancelot

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 336, 30th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2024)

Abstract
Intersection type systems, as adequate models of the λ-calculus, induce an equational theory on terms, that we refer to as type equivalence. We give a new proof technique to coinductively characterize type equivalence. To do so, we explore a simple setting, namely weak head type equivalence, which is the equational theory induced by a weak head non-idempotent intersection type system. We prove a folklore result: weak head type equivalence coincides with Sangiorgi’s normal form bisimilarity. What is new in our development is that we only rely on coinductive program equivalences, bypassing the need to introduce term approximants, which were used in previous works characterizing type equivalence. The crucial part of this characterization is to show that type equivalent terms are normal form bisimilar: we do so by constructing shape typings that can only type terms of a specific normal form structure. Shape typings are a light form of principal types, a technique often used in intersection types to generate from one or few principal typing all possible typings of a term.

The Algebra of Patterns

Authors: David Binder and Lean Ermantraut

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
Pattern matching is a popular feature in functional, imperative and object-oriented programming languages. Language designers should therefore invest effort in a good design for pattern matching. Most languages choose a first-match semantics for pattern matching; that is, clauses are tried in the order in which they appear in the program until the first one matches. As a consequence, the order in which the clauses appear cannot be arbitrarily changed, which results in a less declarative programming model. The declarative alternative to this is an order-independent semantics for pattern matching, which is not implemented in most programming languages since it requires more verbose patterns. The reason for this verbosity is that the syntax of patterns is usually not expressive enough to express the complement of a pattern. In this paper, we show a principled way to make order-independent pattern matching practical. Our solution consists of two parts: First, we introduce a boolean algebra of patterns which can express the complement of a pattern. Second, we introduce default clauses to pattern matches. These default clauses capture the essential idea of a fallthrough case without sacrificing the property of order-independence.

Fair Termination of Asynchronous Binary Sessions

Authors: Luca Padovani and Gianluigi Zavattaro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
We study a theory of asynchronous session types ensuring that well-typed processes terminate under a suitable fairness assumption. Fair termination entails starvation freedom and orphan message freedom namely that all messages, including those that are produced early taking advantage of asynchrony, are eventually consumed. The theory is based on a novel fair asynchronous subtyping relation for session types that is coarser than the existing ones. The type system is also the first of its kind that is firmly rooted in linear logic: fair asynchronous subtyping is incorporated as a natural generalization of the cut and axiom rules of linear logic and asynchronous communication is modeled through a suitable set of commuting conversions and of deep cut reductions in linear logic proofs.

Slightly Non-Linear Higher-Order Tree Transducers

Authors: Lê Thành Dũng (Tito) Nguyễn and Gabriele Vanoni

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
We investigate the tree-to-tree functions computed by "affine λ-transducers": tree automata whose memory consists of an affine λ-term instead of a finite state. They can be seen as variations on Gallot, Lemay and Salvati’s Linear High-Order Deterministic Tree Transducers. When the memory is almost purely affine (à la Kanazawa), we show that these machines can be translated to tree-walking transducers (and with a purely affine memory, we get a reversible tree-walking transducer). This leads to a proof of an inexpressivity conjecture of Nguyễn and Pradic on "implicit automata" in an affine λ-calculus. We also prove that a more powerful variant, extended with preprocessing by an MSO relabeling and allowing a limited amount of non-linearity, is equivalent in expressive power to Engelfriet, Hoogeboom and Samwel’s invisible pebble tree transducers. The key technical tool in our proofs is the Interaction Abstract Machine (IAM), an operational avatar of Girard’s geometry of interaction, a semantics of linear logic. We work with ad-hoc specializations to λ-terms of low exponential depth of a tree-generating version of the IAM.
