An operational domain-theoretic treatment of recursive types

نویسنده

چکیده

We develop a domain theory for treating recursive types with respect to contextual equivalence. The principal approach taken here deviates from classical domain theory in that we do not produce the recursive types via the usual inverse limits constructions we have it for free by working directly with the operational semantics. By extending type expressions to endofunctors on a ‘syntactic’ category, we establish algebraic compactness. To do this, we rely on an operational version of the minimal invariance property. In addition, we apply techniques developed herein to reason about FPC programs.

Computational Adequacy for Recursive Types in Models of Intuitionistic Set Theory

This paper provides a unifying axiomatic account of the interpretation of recursive types that incorporates both domain-theoretic and realizability models as concrete instances. Our approach is to view such models as full subcategories of categorical models of intuitionistic set theory. It is shown that the existence of solutions to recursive domain equations depends upon the strength of the se...

Relational Interpretations of Recursive Types in an Operational Setting

Relational interpretations of type systems are useful for establishing properties of programming languages. For languages with recursive types it is usually di cult to establish the existence of a relational interpretation. The usual approach is to give a denotational semantics of the language in a domain-theoretic model given by an inverse limit construction, and to construct relations over th...

Inductive, Projective, and Retractive Types

We give an analysis of classes of recursive types by presenting two extensions of the simply-typed lambda calculus. The first language only allows recursive types with built-in principles of well-founded induction, while the second allows more general recursive types which permit non-terminating computations. We discuss the expressive power of the languages, examine the properties of reduction-...

Operational domain theory and topology of sequential functional languages

We develop an operational domain theory to reason about programs in sequential functional languages. The central idea is to export domaintheoretic techniques of the Scott denotational semantics directly to the study of contextual pre-order and equivalence. We investigate to what extent this can be done for two deterministic functional programming languages: PCF (Programming-language for Computa...

Ultrametric Domain Theory and Semantics in Coq

We present a Coq formalization of ultrametric spaces and of ultrametric-enriched categories, up to and including the construction of solutions to recursive domain equations in ultrametric-enriched categories. We then show how to apply this semantic setup for giving semantics to a programming language with higher-order store. Specifically, we define a step counting operational semantics for a fu...
