Aggregating Inductive Expertise on Partial Recursive Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of an inductive inference machine aggregating a team of inference machines models the problem of making use of several explanations for a single phenomenon. This article investigates the amount of information necessary for a successful aggregation of the theories given by a team of inference machines. Variations of using different kinds of identitication and aggregation are investigated. (

Partial Recursive Functions in Martin-Löf Type Theory
In this article we revisit the approach by Bove and Capretta for formulating partial recursive functions in Martin-Löf Type Theory by indexed inductive-recursive definitions. We will show that all inductiverecursive definitions used there can be replaced by inductive definitions. However, this encoding results in an additional technical overhead. In order to obtain directly executable partial r...
متن کاملAnother Look at Function Domains
Bove and Capretta have presented a method to deal with partial and general recursive functions in constructive type theory which relies on an inductive characterisation of the domains of the functions. The method separates the logical and the computational aspects of an algorithm, and facilitates the formal verification of the functions being defined. For nested recursive functions, the method ...
متن کاملComputation by Prophecy
We describe a new method to represent (partial) recursive functions in type theory. For every recursive definition, we define a co-inductive type of prophecies that characterises the traces of the computation of the function. The structure of a prophecy is a possibly infinite tree, which is coerced by linearisation to a type of partial results defined by applying the delay monad to the co-domai...
متن کاملType-Theoretic Functional Semantics
We describe the operational and denotational semantics of a small imperative language in type theory with inductive and recursive definitions. The operational semantics is given by natural inference rules, implemented as an inductive relation. The realization of the denotational semantics is more delicate: The nature of the language imposes a few difficulties on us. First, the language is Turin...
متن کاملA Step-Indexing Approach to Partial Functions
We describe an ACL2 package for defining partial recursive functions that also supports efficient execution. While packages for defining partial recursive functions already exist for other theorem provers, they often require inductive definitions or recursion operators which are not available in ACL2 and they provide little, if any, support for executing the resulting definitions. We use stepin...
