A Strong Call-By-Need Calculus

Authors: Thibaut Balabonski, Antoine Lanco, and Guillaume Melquiond

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

Abstract
We present a call-by-need λ-calculus that enables strong reduction (that is, reduction inside the body of abstractions) and guarantees that arguments are only evaluated if needed and at most once. This calculus uses explicit substitutions and subsumes the existing strong-call-by-need strategy, but allows for more reduction sequences, and often shorter ones, while preserving the neededness. The calculus is shown to be normalizing in a strong sense: Whenever a λ-term t admits a normal form n in the λ-calculus, then any reduction sequence from t in the calculus eventually reaches a representative of the normal form n. We also exhibit a restriction of this calculus that has the diamond property and that only performs reduction sequences of minimal length, which makes it systematically better than the existing strategy. We have used the Abella proof assistant to formalize part of this calculus, and discuss how this experiment affected its design.

Primitive Floats in Coq

Authors: Guillaume Bertholon, Érik Martin-Dorel, and Pierre Roux

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract
Some mathematical proofs involve intensive computations, for instance: the four-color theorem, Hales' theorem on sphere packing (formerly known as the Kepler conjecture) or interval arithmetic. For numerical computations, floating-point arithmetic enjoys widespread usage thanks to its efficiency, despite the introduction of rounding errors. Formal guarantees can be obtained on floating-point algorithms based on the IEEE 754 standard, which precisely specifies floating-point arithmetic and its rounding modes, and a proof assistant such as Coq, that enjoys efficient computation capabilities. Coq offers machine integers, however floating-point arithmetic still needed to be emulated using these integers. A modified version of Coq is presented that enables using the machine floating-point operators. The main obstacles to such an implementation and its soundness are discussed. Benchmarks show potential performance gains of two orders of magnitude.

A Proposal to add Interval Arithmetic to the C++ Standard Library

Authors: Sylvain Pion, Hervé Brönnimann, and Guillaume Melquiond

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6021, Reliable Implementation of Real Number Algorithms: Theory and Practice (2006)

Abstract
I will report on a recent effort by Guillaume Melquiond, Hervé Br"onnimann and myself to push forward a proposal to include interval arithmetic in the next C++ ISO standard. The goals of the standardization are to produce a unified specification which will serve as many uses of intervals as possible, together with hoping for very efficient implementations, closer to the compilers. I will describe how the standardization process works, explain some of the design choices made, and list some of the other questions arising in the process. We welcome any comment on the proposal.
