چکیده

In a previous paper we have established the theory of transsnite reduction for orthogonal term rewriting systems. In this paper we perform the same task for the lambda calculus. From the viewpoint of innnitary rewriting, the BB ohm model of the lambda calculus can be seen as an innnitary term model. In contrast to term rewriting, there are several diierent possible notions of innnite term, which give rise to diierent BB ohm-like models, which embody diierent notions of lazy or eager computation.

Innnitary Lambda Calculus

In a previous paper we have established the theory of transsnite reduction for orthogonal term rewriting systems. In this paper we perform the same task for the lambda calculus. From the viewpoint of innnitary rewriting, the BB ohm model of the lambda calculus can be seen as an innnitary term model. In contrast to term rewriting, there are several diierent possible notions of innnite term, whic...

The infinitary lambda calculus of the infinite eta Böhm trees

In this paper, we introduce a strong form of eta reduction called etabang that we use to construct a confluent and normalising infinitary lambda calculus, of which the normal forms correspond to Barendregt’s infinite eta Böhm trees. This new infinitary perspective on the set of infinite eta Böhm trees allows us to prove that the set of infinite eta Böhm trees is a model of the lambda calculus. ...

A Coinductive Confluence Proof for Infinitary Lambda-Calculus

We present a new coinductive proof of confluence of Böhm reduction in infinitary lambda-calculus. The proof is simpler than previous proofs of this result. The technique of the proof is new, i.e., it is not merely a coinductive reformulation of any earlier proofs.

Infinitary Intersection Types as Sequences: a New Answer to Klop's Question

We provide a type-theoretical characterization of weakly-normalizing terms in an infinitary lambda-calculus. We adapt for this purpose the standard quantitative (with non-idempotent intersections) type assignment system of the lambda-calculus to our infinite calculus. Our work provides a new answer to Klop’s HHN-problem, namely, finding out if there is a type system characterizing the hereditar...

Weakening the Axiom of Overlap in Infinitary Lambda Calculus

In this paper we present a set of necessary and sufficient conditions on a set of lambda terms to serve as the set of meaningless terms in an infinitary bottom extension of lambda calculus. So far only a set of sufficient conditions was known for choosing a suitable set of meaningless terms to make this construction produce confluent extensions. The conditions covered the three main known examp...
