Fleury, Dmitriy Traytel","doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.FSCD.2017.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.FSCD.2017.11","url":null,"abstract":"We present a collection of formalized results about finite nested multisets, developed using the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. The nested multiset order is a generalization of the multiset order that can be used to prove termination of processes. Hereditary multisets, a variant of nested multisets, offer a convenient representation of ordinals below 0. In Isabelle/HOL, both nested and hereditary multisets can be comfortably defined as inductive datatypes. Our formal library also provides, somewhat nonstandardly, multisets with negative multiplicities and syntactic or-dinals with negative coefficients. We present applications of the library to formalizations of Goodstein's theorem and the decidability of unary PCF (programming computable functions). 1 Introduction In their seminal article on proving termination using multisets [15], Dershowitz and Manna introduced two orders of increasing strength. The multiset order lifts a base partial order on a set A to finite multisets over A. It forms the basis of the multiset path order, which has many applications in term rewriting [41] and automatic theorem proving [1]. The nested multiset order is a generalization of the multiset order that operates on multisets that can be nested in arbitrary ways. Nesting can increase the order's strength: If (A, <) has ordinal type α < 0 , the associated multiset order has ordinal type ω α , whereas the nested order has ordinal type 0 = ω ω ω. .. . In this paper, we present formal proofs of the main properties of the nested multiset order that are useful in applications: preservation of well-foundedness and preservation of totality (linearity). The proofs are developed in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant [27]. To our knowledge, this is the first development of its kind in any proof assistant. Our starting point is the following inductive datatype of nested finite multisets over a type a (Section 4): datatype a nmultiset = Elem a | MSet ((a nmultiset) multiset) The above Isabelle/HOL command introduces a (unary postfix) type constructor, nmultiset, equipped with two constructors, Elem : a → a nmultiset and MSet : (a nmultiset)multiset → a nmultiset, where a is a type variable and multiset is the type constructor of (finite) multisets.","PeriodicalId":284975,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130126717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saville","doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.FSCD.2017.16","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.FSCD.2017.16","url":null,"abstract":"We introduce and study the notion of list object with algebraic structure. The first key aspect of our development is that the notion of list object is considered in the context of monoidal structure; the second key aspect is that we further equip list objects with algebraic structure in this setting. Within our framework, we observe that list objects give rise to free monoids and moreover show that this remains so in the presence of algebraic structure. In addition, we provide a basic theory explicitly describing as an inductively defined object such free monoids with suitably compatible algebraic structure in common practical situations. This theory is accompanied by the study of two technical themes that, besides being of interest in their own right, are important for establishing applications. These themes are: parametrised initiality, central to the universal property defining list objects; and approaches to algebraic structure, in particular in the context of monoidal theories. The latter leads naturally to a notion of nsr (or near semiring) category of independent interest. With the theoretical development in place, we touch upon a variety of applications, considering Natural Numbers Objects in domain theory, giving a universal property for the monadic list transformer, providing free instances of algebraic extensions of the Haskell Monad type class, elucidating the algebraic character of the construction of opetopes in higher-dimensional algebra, and considering free models of second-order algebraic theories.","PeriodicalId":284975,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122645198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Licata, Michael Shulman, Mitchell Riley","doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.FSCD.2017.25","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.FSCD.2017.25","url":null,"abstract":"We define a general framework that abstracts the common features of many intuitionistic substructural and modal logics / type theories. The framework is a sequent calculus / normal-form type theory parametrized by a mode theory, which is used to describe the structure of contexts and the structural properties they obey. In this sequent calculus, the context itself obeys standard structural properties, while a term, drawn from the mode theory, constrains how the context can be used. Product types, implications, and modalities are defined as instances of two general connectives, one positive and one negative, that manipulate these terms. Specific mode theories can express a range of substructural and modal connectives, including non-associative, ordered, linear, affine, relevant, and cartesian products and implications; monoidal and non-monoidal functors, (co)monads and adjunctions; n-linear variables; and bunched implications. We prove cut (and identity) admissibility independently of the mode theory, obtaining it for many different logics at once. Further, we give a general equational theory on derivations / terms that, in addition to the usual beta/eta-rules, characterizes when two derivations differ only by the placement of structural rules. Additionally, we give an equivalent semantic presentation of these ideas, in which a mode theory corresponds to a 2-dimensional cartesian multicategory, the framework corresponds to another such multicategory with a functor to the mode theory, and the logical connectives make this into a bifibration. Finally, we show how the framework can be used both to encode existing existing logics / type theories and to design new ones.","PeriodicalId":284975,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction","volume":"50 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120839421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical benchmarks suggest that they are one of the most efficient machineries, when one wants to fully exploit the higher-order features of lambda-calculus. However, we still lack confirming grounds with theoretical solidity to dispel uncertainties about the adoption of sharing graphs. \u0000 \u0000Aiming at analysing in detail the worst-case overhead cost of sharing operators, we restrict to the case of elementary and light linear logic, two subsystems with bounded computational complexity of multiplicative exponential linear logic. In these two cases, the bookkeeping component is unnecessary, and sharing graphs are simplified to the so-called \"abstract algorithm\". By a modular cost comparison over a syntactical simulation, we prove that the overhead of shared reductions is quadratically bounded to cost of the naive implementation, i.e. proof-net reduction. This result generalises and strengthens a previous complexity result, and implies that the price of sharing is negligible, if compared to the obtainable benefits on reductions requiring a large amount of duplication.","PeriodicalId":284975,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115544068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thereby making it possible to consider functions on the natural numbers as running times of oracle Turing machines and avoiding second-order polynomials, which are notoriously difficult to handle. Furthermore, all machines that witness this stronger kind of feasibility can be clocked and the different traditions of treating partial functionals from computable analysis and second-order complexity theory are equated in a precise sense. The new notion is named \"strong polynomial-time computability\", and proven to be a strictly stronger requirement than polynomial-time computability. It is proven that within the framework for complexity of operators from analysis introduced by Kawamura and Cook the classes of strongly polynomial-time computable functionals and polynomial-time computable functionals coincide.","PeriodicalId":284975,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124290438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
