Confluence Thanks to Extensional Determinism
نویسنده
چکیده
A process is extensionally deterministic if, after any trace s and given any event a, it is either certain to accept or certain to refuse a (stably) after s. We show how several process algebras are capable of expressing this property and how they agree on the equivalence of deterministic processes. A number of important properties of processes P , including confluence, can be captured in terms of the determinism of some context C [P ].

Confluence Properties of Extensional and Non-Extensional λ-Calculi with Explicit Substitutions
This paper studies confluence properties of extensional and non-extensional λ-calculi with explicit substitutions, where extensionality is interpreted by η-expansion. For that, we propose a general scheme for explicit substitutions which describes those abstract properties that are sufficient to guarantee confluence. Our general scheme makes it possible to treat at the same time many well-known...
متن کاملAn Extensional Böhm Model
We show the existence of an infinitary confluent and normalising extension of the finite extensional lambda calculus with beta and eta. Besides infinite beta reductions also infinite eta reductions are possible in this extension, and terms without head normal form can be reduced to bottom. As corollaries we obtain a simple, syntax based construction of an extensional Böhm model of the finite la...
متن کاملCausal automata
We introduce causal automata, a formalism based on a syntactic approach to causality in contrast to conventional approaches based on partial orders. Our main result is the following characterisation of Milner’s notion of confluence in CCS: Confluence ≡ Determinism + {AND,OR} Causality.
متن کاملExtensional Rewriting with Sums
Inspired by recent work on normalisation by evaluation for sums, we propose a normalising and confluent extensional rewriting theory for the simply-typed λ-calculus extended with sum types. As a corollary of confluence we obtain decidability for the extensional equational theory of simply-typed λ-calculus extended with sum types. Unlike previous decidability results, which rely on advanced rewr...
متن کاملSimulating Expansions without Expansions
We add extensional equalities for the functional and product types to the typed -calculus with not only products and terminal object, but also sums and bounded recursion (a version of recursion that does not allow recursive calls of infinite length). We provide a confluent and strongly normalizing (thus decidable) rewriting system for the calculus, that stays confluent when allowing unbounded r...
