Böhm's Theorem, Church's Delta, Numeral Systems, and Ershov Morphisms

چکیده
In this note we work with untyped lambda terms under β(η)-conversion and consider the possibility of extending Böhm’s theorem to infinite RE sets. Of course, it is well known that Böhm’s theorem will fail in general for such sets even if it holds for all finite subsets. It turns out that generalizing Böhm’s theorem to infinite sets involves three other superficially unrelated notions; namely, Church’s delta, numeral systems, and Ershov morphisms. Our principal result is that Böhm’s theorem holds for an infinite RE set V closed under beta conversion iff V can be endowed with the structure of a numeral system with predecessor iff there is a Church delta (conditional) for V iff every Ershov morphism with domain V can be represented by a lambda term. Along the way we prove a version of the Myhill-Shepherdson theorem for Ershov morphisms, and an approximation theorem for betaeta morphisms by lambda terms.

EQ-logics with delta connective
In this paper we continue development of formal theory of a special class offuzzy logics, called EQ-logics. Unlike fuzzy logics being extensions of theMTL-logic in which the basic connective is implication, the basic connective inEQ-logics is equivalence. Therefore, a new algebra of truth values calledEQ-algebra was developed. This is a lower semilattice with top element endowed with two binary...

متن کاملTheory Morphisms in Church's Type Theory with Quotation and Evaluation
cttqe is a version of Church’s type theory with global quotation and evaluation operators that is engineered to reason about the interplay of syntax and semantics and to formalize syntax-based mathematical algorithms. cttuqe is a variant of cttqe that admits undefined expressions, partial functions, and multiple base types of individuals. It is better suited than cttqe as a logic for building n...
متن کاملFrom torsion theories to closure operators and factorization systems
Torsion theories are here extended to categories equipped with an ideal of 'null morphisms', or equivalently a full subcategory of 'null objects'. Instances of this extension include closure operators viewed as generalised torsion theories in a 'category of pairs', and factorization systems viewed as torsion theories in a category of morphisms. The first point has essentially been treated in [15].
