Nested Term Graphs

چکیده
We report on work in progress on ‘nested term graphs’ for formalizing higher-order terms (e.g. finite or infinite λ -terms), including those expressing recursion (e.g. terms in the λ -calculus with letrec). The idea is to represent the nested scope structure of a higher-order term by a nested structure of term graphs. Based on a signature that is partitioned into atomic and nested function symbols, we define nested term graphs both intensionally, as tree-like recursive graph specifications that associate nested symbols with usual term graphs, and extensionally, as enriched term graph structures. These definitions induce corresponding notions of bisimulation between nested term graphs. Our main result states that nested term graphs can be implemented faithfully by first-order term graphs.

A Complete Proof System for Nested Term Graphs
Nested Term Graphs are syntactic representations of cyclic term graphs. Via a simple translation they contain-terms as a subset. There exists a characterization of the-terms that unwind to the same tree, presented as a complete proof system. This paper gives a similar characterization for Nested Term Graphs. The semantics of tree unwinding is presented via bisimulations.
متن کاملEla Nested Graphs with Bounded Second Largest ( Signless Laplacian
Nested split and double nested graphs (commonly named nested graphs) are considered. General statements regarding the signless Laplacian spectra are proven, and the nested graphs whose second largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue is bounded by a fixed integral constant are studied. Some sufficient conditions are provided and a procedure for classifying such graphs in particular cases is provide...
متن کاملFast Algorithms for Indices of Nested Split Graphs Approximating Real Complex Networks
We present a method based on simulated annealing to obtain a nested split graph that approximates a real complex graph. This is used to compute a number of graph indices using very efficient algorithms that we develop, leveraging the geometrical properties of nested split graphs. Practical results are given for six graphs from such diverse areas as social networks, communication networks, word ...
متن کاملOn the Classes of Interval Graphs of Limited Nesting and Count of Lengths
In 1969, Roberts introduced proper and unit interval graphs and proved that these classes are equal. Natural generalizations of unit interval graphs called k-length interval graphs were considered in which the number of different lengths of intervals is limited by k. Even after decades of research, no insight into their structure is known and the complexity of recognition is open even for k = 2...
متن کاملFirst-Order Model Checking on Generalisations of Pushdown Graphs
We study the first-order model checking problem on two generalisations of pushdown graphs. The first class is the class of nested pushdown trees. The other is the class of collapsible pushdown graphs. Our main results are the following. First-order logic with reachability is uniformly decidable on nested pushdown trees. Considering first-order logic without reachability, we prove decidability i...
