چکیده

The rewriting calculus is a rule construction and application framework. As such it embeds in a uniform way term rewriting and lambda-calculus. Since rule application is an explicit object of the calculus, it allows us also to handle the set of results explicitly. We present a simply typed version of the rewriting calculus. With a good choice of the type system, we show that the calculus is type preserving and terminating, i.e. verifies the subject reduction and strong normalization properties.

Extensional Rewriting with Sums

Inspired by recent work on normalisation by evaluation for sums, we propose a normalising and confluent extensional rewriting theory for the simply-typed λ-calculus extended with sum types. As a corollary of confluence we obtain decidability for the extensional equational theory of simply-typed λ-calculus extended with sum types. Unlike previous decidability results, which rely on advanced rewr...

Extensional Isomorphisms of Inductive Types in Simply-Typed Lambda-Calculus

We study isomorphisms of types in the system of simply-typed λ-calculus with inductive types and recursion. It is shown that in some cases (multiproducts, copies of types), it is possible to add new reductions in such a way that strong normalisation and confluence of the calculus is preserved, and the isomorphisms may be regarded as intensional w.r.t. a stronger equality relation.

A Logic Programming Approach to Implementing Higher-Order Term Rewriting

Term rewriting has proven to be an important technique in theorem proving. In this paper, we illustrate that rewrite systems and strategies for higher-order term rewriting, which includes the usual notion of rst-order rewriting, can be naturally speciied and implemented in a higher-order logic programming language. We adopt a notion of higher-order rewrite system which uses the simply typed-cal...

Normalization by Evaluation for Typed Lambda Calculus with Coproducts

Abstract We solve the decision problem for simply typed lambda calculus with strong binary sums, equivalently the word problem for free cartesian closed categories with binary coproducts. Our method is based on the semantical technique known as “normalization by evaluation” and involves inverting the interpretation of the syntax into a suitable sheaf model and from this extracting appropriate u...

A Rewriting View of Simple Typing

This paper shows how a recently developed view of typing as small-step abstract reduction, due to Kuan, MacQueen, and Findler, can be used to recast the development of simple type theory from a rewriting perspective. We show how standard meta-theoretic results can be proved in a completely new way, using the rewriting view of simple typing. These meta-theoretic results include standard type pre...
