Canonical Calculi: Invertibility, Axiom Expansion and (Non)-determinism
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply the semantic tool of non-deterministic matrices to characterize two important properties of canonical Gentzen-type calculi: invertibility of rules and axiom expansion. We show that in every canonical calculus G satisfying a natural condition, the following are equivalent: (i) the connectives of G admit axiom expansion, (ii) the rules of G are invertible, and (iii) G has a characteristic finite deterministic matrix.

Basic Constructive Connectives, Determinism and Matrix-Based Semantics
(Non-)deterministic Kripke-style semantics is used to characterize two syntactic properties of single-conclusion canonical sequent calculi: invertibility of rules and axiom-expansion. An alternative matrixbased formulation of such semantics is introduced, which provides an algorithm for checking these properties, and also new insights into basic constructive connectives.

The invertibility hypothesis for a monoidal model category S asks that localizing an S-enriched category with respect to an equivalence results in an weakly equivalent enriched category. This is the most technical among the axioms for S to be an excellent model category in the sense of Lurie, who showed that the category CatS of S-enriched categories then has a model structure with characteriza...
متن کاملNon-deterministic Böhm trees
Lambda calculus is well established as the formal model of functional programming. Non-determinism is an interesting conceptual issue, often considered in process-calculi. It is interesting to mix lambda-calculus and non-determinism, firstly because programmers use functional programming but also concurrent methods, networks and multi-users systems, secondly as a step towards more complex langu...
متن کاملAxioms in Definitional Calculi
This paper introduces a restricted form of the axiom rule in calculi of Partial Inductive Definitions (PID). The paper argues that in calculi of PIDs the distinction between atomic and non-atomic formulae is not as clear as in traditional sequent calculi. Therefore the common restriction of the axiom rule to the atomic case is not adequate for this type of calculi. A novel proviso for the axiom...
متن کاملA relational model of a parallel and non-deterministic λ-calculus
We recently introduced an extensional model of the pure λ-calculus living in a canonical cartesian closed category of sets and relations [6]. In the present paper, we study the non-deterministic features of this model. Unlike most traditional approaches, our way of interpreting non-determinism does not require any additional powerdomain construction: we show that our model provides a straightfo...
