Normalization for the Simply-Typed Lambda-Calculus in Twelf

نویسنده

  • Andreas Abel
چکیده

Normalization for the simply-typed λ-calculus is proven in Twelf, an implementation of the Edinburgh Logical Framework. Since due to proof-theoretical restrictions Twelf Tait’s computability method does not seem to be directly usable, a syntactical proof is adapted and formalized instead. In this case study, some boundaries of Twelf current capabilities are touched and discussed.

A Lambda Prolog Based Animation of Twelf Specifications

Specifications in the Twelf system are based on a logic programming interpretation of the Edinburgh Logical Framework or LF. We consider an approach to animating such specifications using a λProlog implementation. This approach is based on a lossy translation of the dependently typed LF expressions into the simply typed lambda calculus (STLC) terms of λProlog and a subsequent encoding of lost d...

Embedding developments into simply typed -calculus

By using an infinity of extra variables every λ-term with indexed redexes is interpreted into a term in the simply typed lambda calculus à la Curry. A development becomes a usual β-reduction in the simply typed lambda calculus and the corresponding properties of developments come out from the corresponding properties (strong normalization and Church-Rosser) holding in this system. In this way w...

Mechanizing metatheory in a logical framework

The LF logical framework codifies a methodology for representing deductive systems, such as programming languages and logics, within a dependently typed λ-calculus. In this methodology, the syntactic and deductive apparatus of a system is encoded as the canonical forms of associated LF types; an encoding is correct (adequate) if and only if it defines a compositional bijection between the appar...
