چکیده
We present a new version of the Seal Calculus, a calculus of mobile computation. We study observational congruence and bisimulation theory, and show how they are related.

Fully abstract encodings of λ-calculus in HOcore through abstract machines
We present fully abstract encodings of the call-byname λ-calculus into HOcore, a minimal higher-order process calculus with no name restriction. We consider several equivalences on the λ-calculus side—normal-form bisimilarity, applicative bisimilarity, and contextual equivalence—that we internalize into abstract machines in order to prove full abstraction.
متن کاملNormal Form Bisimulations for Delimited-Control Operators
We define a notion of normal form bisimilarity for the untyped call-by-value λ-calculus extended with the delimited-control operators shift and reset. Normal form bisimilarities are simple, easy-to-use behavioral equivalences which relate terms without having to test them within all contexts (like contextual equivalence), or by applying them to function arguments (like applicative bisimilarity)...
متن کاملCharacterizing contextual equivalence in calculi with passivation
We study the problem of characterizing contextual equivalence in higher-orderlanguages with passivation. To overcome the difficulties arising in the proofof congruence of candidate bisimilarities, we introduce a new form of labelledtransition semantics together with its associated notion of bisimulation, whichwe call complementary semantics. Complementary semantics allows to...
متن کاملSimulation in the Call-by-Need Lambda-Calculus with letrec
This paper shows the equivalence of applicative similarity and contextual approximation, and hence also of bisimilarity and contextual equivalence, in the deterministic call-by-need lambda calculus with letrec. Bisimilarity simplifies equivalence proofs in the calculus and opens a way for more convenient correctness proofs for program transformations. Although this property may be a natural one...
متن کاملApplicative Bisimulations for Delimited-Control Operators
We develop a behavioral theory for the untyped call-by-value λ-calculus extended with the delimited-control operators shift and reset. For this calculus, we discuss the possible observable behaviors and we define an applicative bisimilarity that characterizes contextual equivalence. We then compare the applicative bisimilarity and the CPS equivalence, a relation on terms often used in studies o...
