Operational Semantics and Models of Linear Abadi-Plotkin Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a model of Linear Abadi and Plotkin Logic for parametricity [8] based on the operational semantics of LILY, a polymorphic linear lambda calculus endowed with an operational semantics [3]. We use it to formally prove definability of general recursive types in LILY and to derive reasoning principles for the recursive types.

Categorical Models for Abadi - Plotkin ’ s Logic for Parametricity LARS BIRKEDAL
We propose a new category-theoretic formulation of relational parametricity based on a logic for reasoning about parametricity given by Abadi and Plotkin (Plotkin and Abadi, 1993). The logic can be used to reason about parametric models, such that we may prove consequences of parametricity that to our knowledge have not been proved before for existing category-theoretic notions of relational pa...
متن کاملCategory-theoretic Models of Linear Abadi & Plotkin Logic
This paper presents a sound and complete category-theoretic notion of models for Linear Abadi & Plotkin Logic [Birkedal et al., 2006], a logic suitable for reasoning about parametricity in combination with recursion. A subclass of these called parametric LAPL structures can be seen as an axiomatization of domain theoretic models of parametric polymorphism, and we show how to solve general (nest...
متن کاملFrom parametric polymorphism to models of polymorphic FPC
This paper shows how PILLY (Polymorphic Intuitionistic / Linear Lambda calculus with a fixed point combinator Y ) with parametric polymorphism can be used as a metalanguage for domain theory, as originally suggested by Plotkin more than a decade ago. Using Plotkin’s encodings of recursive types in PILLY we show how parametric models of PILLY give rise to models of FPC, a simply typed lambda cal...
متن کاملLogical Specification of Operational Semantics
Various logic-based frameworks have been proposed for specifying the operational semantics of programming languages and concurrent systems, including inference systems in the styles advocated by Plotkin and by Kahn, Horn logic, equational specifications, reduction systems for evaluation contexts, rewriting logic, and tile logic. We consider the relationship between these frameworks, and assess ...
متن کاملLinear Abadi and Plotkin Logic
We present a formalization of a version of Abadi and Plotkin’s logic for parametricity for a polymorphic dual intuitionistic/linear type theory with fixed points, and show, following Plotkin’s suggestions, that it can be used to define a wide collection of types, including existential types, inductive types, coinductive types and general recursive types. We show that the recursive types satisfy...
