Denotational aspects of untyped normalization by evaluation

Andrzej Filinski, Henning Korsholm Rohde (2005)

Similarity:

We show that the standard normalization-by-evaluation construction for the simply-typed λ β η -calculus has a natural counterpart for the untyped λ β -calculus, with the central type-indexed logical relation replaced by a “recursively defined” invariant relation, in the style of Pitts. In fact, the construction can be seen as generalizing a computational-adequacy argument for an untyped, call-by-name language to normalization instead of evaluation.In the untyped setting, not all terms have normal...

Termination checking with types

Andreas Abel (2004)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

The paradigm of type-based termination is explored for functional programming with recursive data types. The article introduces Λ μ + , a lambda-calculus with recursion, inductive types, subtyping and bounded quantification. Decorated type variables representing approximations of inductive types are used to track the size of function arguments and return values. The system is shown to be type safe and strongly normalizing. The main novelty is a bidirectional type checking algorithm whose...
