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.

Call-By-Value, Again!

Authors: Axel Kerinec, Giulio Manzonetto, and Simona Ronchi Della Rocca

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


Abstract
The quest for a fully abstract model of the call-by-value λ-calculus remains crucial in programming language theory, and constitutes an ongoing line of research. While a model enjoying this property has not been found yet, this interesting problem acts as a powerful motivation for investigating classes of models, studying the associated theories and capturing operational properties semantically. We study a relational model presented as a relevant intersection type system, where intersection is in general non-idempotent, except for an idempotent element that is injected in the system. This model is adequate, equates many λ-terms that are indeed equivalent in the maximal observational theory, and satisfies an Approximation Theorem w.r.t. a system of approximants representing finite pieces of call-by-value Böhm trees. We show that these tools can be used for characterizing the most significant properties of the calculus - namely valuability, potential valuability and solvability - both semantically, through the notion of approximants, and logically, by means of the type assignment system. We mainly focus on the characterizations of solvability, as they constitute an original result. Finally, we prove the decidability of the inhabitation problem for our type system by exhibiting a non-deterministic algorithm, which is proven sound, correct and terminating.

Invited Talk
Solvability in a Probabilistic Setting (Invited Talk)

Authors: Simona Ronchi Della Rocca, Ugo Dal Lago, and Claudia Faggian

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 167, 5th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2020)


Abstract
The notion of solvability, crucial in the λ-calculus, is conservatively extended to a probabilistic setting, and a complete characterization of it is given. The employed technical tool is a type assignment system, based on non-idempotent intersection types, whose typable terms turn out to be precisely the terms which are solvable with nonnull probability. We also supply an operational characterization of solvable terms, through the notion of head normal form, and a denotational model of Λ_⊕, itself induced by the type system, which equates all the unsolvable terms.

Observability for Pair Pattern Calculi

Authors: Antonio Bucciarelli, Delia Kesner, and Simona Ronchi Della Rocca

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 38, 13th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (TLCA 2015)


Abstract
Inspired by the notion of solvability in the λ-calculus, we define a notion of observability for a calculus with pattern matching. We give an intersection type system for such a calculus which is based on non-idempotent types. The typing system is shown to characterize the set of terms having canonical form, which properly contains the set of observable terms, so that typability alone is not sufficient to characterize observability. However, the inhabitation problem associated with our typing system turns out to be decidable, a result which — together with typability — allows to obtain a full characterization of observability.

Standardization of a Call-By-Value Lambda-Calculus

Authors: Giulio Guerrieri, Luca Paolini, and Simona Ronchi Della Rocca

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 38, 13th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (TLCA 2015)


Abstract
We study an extension of Plotkin's call-by-value lambda-calculus by means of two commutation rules (sigma-reductions). Recently, it has been proved that this extended calculus provides elegant characterizations of many semantic properties, as for example solvability. We prove a standardization theorem for this calculus by generalizing Takahashi's approach of parallel reductions. The standardization property allows us to prove that our calculus is conservative with respect to the Plotkin's one. In particular, we show that the notion of solvability for this calculus coincides with that for Plotkin's call-by-value lambda-calculus.
