Types and Terms Translated: Unrestricted Resources in Encoding Functions as Processes

Authors: Joseph W. N. Paulus, Daniele Nantes-Sobrinho, and Jorge A. Pérez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 239, 27th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2021)

Abstract
Type-preserving translations are effective rigorous tools in the study of core programming calculi. In this paper, we develop a new typed translation that connects sequential and concurrent calculi; it is governed by type systems that control resource consumption. Our main contribution is the source language, a new resource λ-calculus with non-collapsing non-determinism and failures, dubbed uλ^{↯}_{⊕}. In uλ^{↯}_{⊕}, resources are split into linear and unrestricted; failures are explicit and arise from this distinction. We define a type system based on intersection types to control resources and fail-prone computation. The target language is 𝗌π, an existing session-typed π-calculus that results from a Curry-Howard correspondence between linear logic and session types. Our typed translation subsumes our prior work; interestingly, it treats unrestricted resources in uλ^{↯}_{⊕} as client-server session behaviours in 𝗌π.

Nominal Anti-Unification with Atom-Variables

Authors: Manfred Schmidt-Schauß and Daniele Nantes-Sobrinho

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 228, 7th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2022)

Abstract
Anti-unification is the task of generalizing a set of expressions in the most specific way. It was extended to the nominal framework by Baumgarter, Kutsia, Levy and Villaret, who defined an algorithm solving the nominal anti-unification problem, which runs in polynomial time. Unfortunately, when an infinite set of atoms are allowed in generalizations, a minimal complete set of solutions in nominal anti-unification does not exist, in general. In this paper, we present a more general approach to nominal anti-unification that uses atom-variables instead of explicit atoms, and two variants of freshness constraints: NL_A-constraints (with atom-variables), and Eqr-constraints based on Equivalence relations on atom-variables. The idea of atom-variables is that different atom-variables may be instantiated with identical or different atoms. Albeit simple, this freedom in the formulation increases its application potential: we provide an algorithm that is finitary for the NL_A-freshness constraints, and for Eqr-freshness constraints it computes a unique least general generalization. There is a price to pay in the general case: checking freshness constraints and other related logical questions will require exponential time. The setting of Baumgartner et al. is improved by the atom-only case, which runs in polynomial time and computes a unique least general generalization.

Non-Deterministic Functions as Non-Deterministic Processes

Authors: Joseph W. N. Paulus, Daniele Nantes-Sobrinho, and Jorge A. Pérez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 195, 6th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2021)

Abstract
We study encodings of the λ-calculus into the π-calculus in the unexplored case of calculi with non-determinism and failures. On the sequential side, we consider λ^↯_⊕, a new non-deterministic calculus in which intersection types control resources (terms); on the concurrent side, we consider 𝗌π, a π-calculus in which non-determinism and failure rest upon a Curry-Howard correspondence between linear logic and session types. We present a typed encoding of λ^↯_⊕ into 𝗌π and establish its correctness. Our encoding precisely explains the interplay of non-deterministic and fail-prone evaluation in λ^↯_⊕ via typed processes in 𝗌π. In particular, it shows how failures in sequential evaluation (absence/excess of resources) can be neatly codified as interaction protocols.

Fixed-Point Constraints for Nominal Equational Unification

Authors: Mauricio Ayala-Rincón, Maribel Fernández, and Daniele Nantes-Sobrinho

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 108, 3rd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2018)

Abstract
We propose a new axiomatisation of the alpha-equivalence relation for nominal terms, based on a primitive notion of fixed-point constraint. We show that the standard freshness relation between atoms and terms can be derived from the more primitive notion of permutation fixed-point, and use this result to prove the correctness of the new alpha-equivalence axiomatisation. This gives rise to a new notion of nominal unification, where solutions for unification problems are pairs of a fixed-point context and a substitution. Although it may seem less natural than the standard notion of nominal unifier based on freshness constraints, the notion of unifier based on fixed-point constraints behaves better when equational theories are considered: for example, nominal unification remains finitary in the presence of commutativity, whereas it becomes infinitary when unifiers are expressed using freshness contexts.

Nominal Narrowing

Authors: Mauricio Ayala-Rincón, Maribel Fernández, and Daniele Nantes-Sobrinho

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

Abstract
Nominal unification is a generalisation of first-order unification that takes alpha-equivalence into account. In this paper, we study nominal unification in the context of equational theories. We introduce nominal narrowing and design a general nominal E-unification procedure, which is sound and complete for a wide class of equational theories. We give examples of application.
