Formalizing Functions as Processes

Authors: Beniamino Accattoli, Horace Blanc, and Claudio Sacerdoti Coen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 268, 14th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2023)


Abstract
We present the first formalization of Milner’s classic translation of the λ-calculus into the π-calculus. It is a challenging result with respect to variables, names, and binders, as it requires one to relate variables and binders of the λ-calculus with names and binders in the π-calculus. We formalize it in Abella, merging the set of variables and the set of names, thus circumventing the challenge and obtaining a neat formalization. About the translation, we follow Accattoli’s factoring of Milner’s result via the linear substitution calculus, which is a λ-calculus with explicit substitutions and contextual rewriting rules, mediating between the λ-calculus and the π-calculus. Another aim of the formalization is to investigate to which extent the use of contexts in Accattoli’s refinement can be formalized.

Normalization by Evaluation for Typed Weak lambda-Reduction

Authors: Filippo Sestini

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 130, 24th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2018)


Abstract
Weak reduction relations in the lambda-calculus are characterized by the rejection of the so-called xi-rule, which allows arbitrary reductions under abstractions. A notable instance of weak reduction can be found in the literature under the name restricted reduction or weak lambda-reduction. In this work, we attack the problem of algorithmically computing normal forms for lambda-wk, the lambda-calculus with weak lambda-reduction. We do so by first contrasting it with other weak systems, arguing that their notion of reduction is not strong enough to compute lambda-wk-normal forms. We observe that some aspects of weak lambda-reduction prevent us from normalizing lambda-wk directly, thus devise a new, better-behaved weak calculus lambda-ex, and reduce the normalization problem for lambda-w to that of lambda-ex. We finally define type systems for both calculi and apply Normalization by Evaluation to lambda-ex, obtaining a normalization proof for lambda-wk as a corollary. We formalize all our results in Agda, a proof-assistant based on intensional Martin-Löf Type Theory.

A Term Rewriting System for Kuratowski's Closure-Complement Problem

Authors: Osama Al-Hassani, Quratul-ain Mahesar, Claudio Sacerdoti Coen, and Volker Sorge

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 15, 23rd International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA'12) (2012)


Abstract
We present a term rewriting system to solve a class of open problems that are generalisations of Kuratowski's closure-complement theorem. The problems are concerned with finding the number of distinct sets that can be obtained by applying combinations of axiomatically defined set operators. While the original problem considers only closure and complement of a topological space as operators, it can be generalised by adding operators and varying axiomatisation. We model these axioms as rewrite rules and construct a rewriting system that allows us to close some so far open variants of Kuratowski's problem by analysing several million inference steps on a typical personal computer.
