Object oriented institutions to specify symbolic computation systems

César Domínguez, Laureano Lambán, Julio Rubio (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

The specification of the data structures used in EAT, a software system for symbolic computation in algebraic topology, is based on an operation that defines a link among different specification frameworks like hidden algebras and coalgebras. In this paper, this operation is extended using the notion of institution, giving rise to three institution encodings. These morphisms define a commutative diagram which shows three possible views of the same construction, placing it in an equational algebraic...

Recursive coalgebras of finitary functors

Jiří Adámek, Dominik Lücke, Stefan Milius (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

For finitary set functors preserving inverse images, recursive coalgebras A of Paul Taylor are proved to be precisely those for which the system described by A always halts in finitely many steps.

Two extensions of system F with (co)iteration and primitive (co)recursion principles

Favio Ezequiel Miranda-Perea (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

This paper presents two extensions of the second order polymorphic lambda calculus, system F, with monotone (co)inductive types supporting (co)iteration, primitive (co)recursion and inversion principles as primitives. One extension is inspired by the usual categorical approach to programming by means of initial algebras and final coalgebras; whereas the other models dialgebras, and can be seen as an extension of Hagino's categorical lambda calculus within the framework of parametric polymorphism....

Z specification of object oriented constraint programs.

Laurent Henocque (2004)

RACSAM

Object oriented constraint programs (OOCPs) emerge as a leading evolution of constraint programming and artificial intelligence, first applied to a range of industrial applications called configuration problems. The rich variety of technical approaches to solving configuration problems (CLP(FD), CC(FD), DCSP, Terminological systems, constraint programs with set variables, . . . ) is a source of difficulty. No universally accepted formal language exists for communicating about OOCPs, which makes...

μ -bicomplete categories and parity games

Luigi Santocanale (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

For an arbitrary category, we consider the least class of functors containing the projections and closed under finite products, finite coproducts, parameterized initial algebras and parameterized final coalgebras, i.e. the class of functors that are definable by μ -terms. We call the category μ -bicomplete if every μ -term defines a functor. We provide concrete examples of such categories and explicitly characterize this class of functors for the category of sets and functions. This goal is achieved...
