EGGs Are Adhesive!

Authors: Roberto Biondo, Davide Castelnovo, and Fabio Gadducci

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


Abstract
The use of rewriting-based visual formalisms is on the rise. In the formal methods community, this is due also to the introduction of adhesive categories, where most properties of classical approaches to graph transformation, such as those on parallelism and confluence, can be rephrased and proved in a general and uniform way. E-graphs (EGGs) are a formalism for program optimisation via an efficient implementation of equality saturation. In short, EGGs can be defined as (acyclic) term graphs with an additional notion of equivalence on nodes that is closed under the operators of the signature. Instead of replacing the components of a program, the optimisation step is performed by adding new components and linking them to the existing ones via an equivalence relation, until an optimal program is reached. This work describes EGGs via adhesive categories. Besides the benefits in itself of a formal presentation, which renders precise the properties of the data structure, the description of the addition of equivalent program components using standard graph transformation tools offers the advantages of the adhesive framework in modelling, for example, concurrent updates.

Combining Generalization Algorithms in Regular Collapse-Free Theories

Authors: Mauricio Ayala-Rincón, David M. Cerna, Temur Kutsia, and Christophe Ringeissen

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


Abstract
We look at the generalization problem modulo some equational theories. This problem is dual to the unification problem: given two input terms, we want to find a common term whose respective two instances are equivalent to the original terms modulo the theory. There exist algorithms for finding generalizations over various equational theories. We focus on modular construction of equational generalization algorithms for the union of signature-disjoint theories. Specifically, we consider the class of regular and collapse-free theories, showing how to combine existing generalization algorithms to produce specific solutions in these cases. Additionally, we identify a class of theories that admit a generalization algorithm based on the application of axioms to resolve the problem. To define this class, we rely on the notion of syntactic theories, a concept originally introduced to develop unification procedures similar to the one known for syntactic unification. We demonstrate that syntactic theories are also helpful in developing generalization procedures similar to those used for syntactic generalization.

Formal Verification in Solidity and Move: Insights from a Comparative Analysis

Authors: Massimo Bartoletti, Silvia Crafa, and Enrico Lipparini

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 129, 6th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Blockchains (FMBC 2025)


Abstract
Formal verification plays a crucial role in making smart contracts safer, being able to find bugs or to guarantee their absence, as well as checking whether the business logic is correctly implemented. For Solidity, even though there already exist several mature verification tools, the semantical quirks of the language can make verification quite hard in practice. Move, on the other hand, has been designed with security and verification in mind, and it has been accompanied since its early stages by a formal verification tool, the Move Prover. In this paper, we investigate through a comparative analysis: 1) how the different designs of the two contract languages impact verification, and 2) what is the state-of-the-art of verification tools for the two languages, and how do they compare on three paradigmatic use cases. Our investigation is supported by an open dataset of verification tasks performed in Certora and in the Aptos Move Prover.

Semantic Foundations of Equality Saturation

Authors: Dan Suciu, Yisu Remy Wang, and Yihong Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 328, 28th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2025)


Abstract
Equality saturation is an emerging technique for program and query optimization developed in the programming language community. It performs term rewriting over an E-graph, a data structure that compactly represents a program space. Despite its popularity, the theory of equality saturation lags behind the practice. In this paper, we define a fixpoint semantics of equality saturation based on tree automata and uncover deep connections between equality saturation and the chase. We characterize the class of chase sequences that correspond to equality saturation. We study the complexities of terminations of equality saturation in three cases: single-instance, all-term-instance, and all-E-graph-instance. Finally, we define a syntactic criterion based on acyclicity that implies equality saturation termination.

Database Theory in Action
Database Theory in Action: Search-Based Program Optimization

Authors: Yihong Zhang, Dan Suciu, Yisu Remy Wang, and Max Willsey

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 328, 28th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2025)


Abstract
Recent work in programming languages developed an approach to term rewritings based on equality saturation (EqSat), which, instead of applying destructively the rewrite rules, maintains all equivalent expressions in a structure called an E-graph. This paper describes two surprising connections between EqSat and databases, going both ways. On one hand equality saturation can be viewed as a query evaluation problem, with great benefits. On the other hand, most sophisticated SQL query optimizers are based on the Volcano/Cascades framework which, we explain, is a variant of EqSat.

Programming Language Tools and Techniques for 3D Printing

Authors: Chandrakana Nandi, Anat Caspi, Dan Grossman, and Zachary Tatlock

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 71, 2nd Summit on Advances in Programming Languages (SNAPL 2017)


Abstract
We propose a research agenda to investigate programming language techniques for improving affordable, end-user desktop manufacturing processes such as 3D printing. Our goal is to adapt programming languages tools and extend the decades of research in industrial, high-end CAD/CAM in order to help make affordable desktop manufacturing processes more accurate, fast, reliable, and accessible to end-users. We focus on three major areas where 3D printing can benefit from programming language tools: design synthesis, optimizing compilation, and runtime monitoring. We present preliminary results on synthesizing editable CAD models from difficult-to-edit surface meshes, discuss potential new compilation strategies, and propose runtime monitoring techniques. We conclude by discussing additional near-future directions we intend to pursue.
