Mechanized Subject Expansion in Uniform Intersection Types for Perpetual Reductions

Authors: Andrej Dudenhefner and Daniele Pautasso

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
We provide a new, purely syntactical proof of strong normalization for the simply typed λ-calculus. The result relies on a novel proof of the equivalence between typability in the simple type system and typability in the uniform intersection type system (a restriction of the non-idempotent intersection type system). For formal verification, the equivalence is mechanized using the Coq proof assistant. In the present work, strong normalization of a given simply typed term M is shown in four steps. First, M is reduced to a normal form N via a suitable reduction strategy with a decreasing measure. Second, a uniform intersection type for the normal form N is inferred. Third, a uniform intersection type for M is constructed iteratively via subject expansion. Fourth, strong normalization of M is shown by induction on the size of the type derivation. A supplementary contribution is a family of perpetual reduction strategies, i.e. strategies which preserve infinite reduction paths. This family allows for subject expansion in the intersection type systems of interest, and contains a reduction strategy with a decreasing measure in the simple type system. A notable member of this family is Barendregt’s F_∞ reduction strategy.

A Quantitative Version of Simple Types

Authors: Daniele Pautasso and Simona Ronchi Della Rocca

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 260, 8th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2023)

Abstract
This work introduces a quantitative version of the simple type assignment system, starting from a suitable restriction of non-idempotent intersection types. The resulting system is decidable and has the same typability power as the simple type system; thus, assigning types to terms supplies the very same qualitative information given by simple types, but at the same time can provide some interesting quantitative information. It is well known that typability for simple types is equivalent to unification; we prove a similar result for the newly introduced system. More precisely, we show that typability is equivalent to a unification problem which is a non-trivial extension of the classical one: in addition to unification rules, our typing algorithm makes use of an expansion operation that increases the cardinality of multisets whenever needed.
