The Lambda-calculus, Combinatory Logic, and Type Systems Overview: Three interrelated topics at the heart of logic and computer science. The -Calculus A pure calculus of functional abstraction and function application, with applications throughout logic and computer science. Types The -calculus is good tool for exploring type systems, invaluable both in the foundations of mathematics and for practical programming languages. Pure Type Systems A further generalisation and systematic presentation of the class of type systems found in the -cube. Combinators Combinatory logic shows that bound variables can be eliminated without loss of expressiveness. It has applications both in the foundations of mathematics and in the implementation of functional programming languages. Programming Languages The connections between the lambda-calculus and programming languages are diverse and pervasive. Type systems are an important aspect of programming language design. The -cube A graphical presentation of the relationship between combinatory logic, lambda calculi and related logical systems. The -cube A graphical presentation of the relationship between various typed -calculi, illuminating the structure of Coquand's Calculus of Constructions.

Scheme 48's security kernel is small, consisting of the call-by-value lambda-calculus with a few simple extensions to support abstract data types, object mutation, and access to hardware resources. Each agent (user or subsystem) has a separate evaluation environment that holds objects representing privileges granted to that agent. Because environments ultimately determine availability of object references, protection and sharing can be controlled largely by the way in which environments are constructed.

Our Program Appendix: Source Code Appendix A - source code for the Dictionary module. Appendix B - source code for the Words module. Appendix C - source code for the Fixwords module. 1. Introduction to Haskell Haskell is a general purpose, purely functional programming language incorporating many recent innovations in programming language design. Haskell provides higher-order functions, non-strict semantics, static polymorphic typing, user-defined algebraic datatypes, pattern-matching, list comprehensions, a module system, a monadic I/O system, and a rich set of primitive datatypes, including lists, arrays, arbitrary and fixed precision integers, and floating-point numbers. Haskell is both the culmination and solidification of many years of research on lazy functional languages. True, this definition is a bit long, but it almost completely shows the power that Haskell has as both a functional language, and as a programming language in general. Because Haskell is a purely functional language is has certain characteristics, and also because Haskell is modern language, many historical mistakes made with language design have been avoided. Recent advances in Typed-Lambda Calculus have formed a basis for Haskell, and the addition of very strong typing to a functional language makes Haskell (unlike LISP) "safe" to use. The typing rules also allow a program Haskell to be validated.

Lambda Calculus C.-H. L. Ong Sixteen-hour lecture course. Final-year computer science undergraduate / MSc Nature and aim of the course Lambda calculus is a theory of functions that is central to (theoretical) computer science. It is well known that all recursive functions are representable as lambda terms: the representation is so compelling that definability in the calculus may as well be regarded as a definition of computability. This forms part of the standard foundations of computer science and mathematics. Less familiar are two separate developments one in programming, the other in proof theory in which lambda calculus has played a key role: Lambda calculus is the commonly accepted basis of functional programming languages; and it is folklore that the calculus is the prototypical functional language in purified form. The idea that there is a close relation between proof theory and a theory of functions is an old one. It underlies the Kolmogorov-Brouwer-Heyting interpretation of intuitionistic logic, and the Curry-Howard isomorphism between natural deduction and typed lambda calculus. We develop the syntax and semantics of lambda calculus along these two themes. The aim of this course is to provide the foundation for an important aspect of the semantics of programming languages with a view to helping enthusiastic research students appreciate (perhaps even begin to address) some of the open problems in the field. The second theme in particular will be followed up by two new courses

John Baez September 28, 2006 Categorical semantics was born in Lawvere's celebrated 1963 thesis on algebraic theories: F. William Lawvere, Functorial Semantics of Algebraic Theories Algebraic theories are a simple formalism for reasoning about operations that satisfy equations. For example, since the concept of a "group" involves only some operations (multiplication, inverses...) satisfying equations, this concept can be formalized using an algebraic theory called Th(Grp). The role of semantics enters when we consider "models" of an algebraic theory. Loosely speaking, a model is just one of the things the theory seeks to describe. For example, a "model" of Th(Grp) is just a group. Technically, an algebraic theory T is a category with finite products, and a model is a functor that preserves finite products: from T to the category of sets. The basic idea is simple: if for example T = Th(Grp), then Z maps the abstract concept of "group" to a specific set, the abstract concept of "multiplication" to a specific multiplication on the chosen set, and so on, thus picking out a specific group. Dual to the concept of semantics is the concept of syntax , which deals with symbol manipulation. Just as semantics deals with models, syntax deals with "proofs". For example, starting from Th(Grp) we can prove consequences of the group axioms merely by juggling equations. In the case of algebraic theories, the syntax often goes by the name of

Its use by Kleene as a coding for computable functions makes it the first programming language, in an abstract sense, exactly as the Turing machine can be considered the first computer machine. The lambda-calculus has quite a simple syntax (with just three formation rules for terms) and a simple operational semantics (with just one operation, substitution), and so it is a very basic setting for studying computation properties. The first contact between lambda-calculus and real programming languages was in the years 1956-1960, when McCarthy developed the LISP programming language

The language deals with the application of a function to its arguments (a function is a set of rules) and expresses any entity as either a variable, the application of one function to another, or as a "lambda abstraction" (a function in which the Greek letter�lambda is defined as the abstraction operator). Lambda calculus, and the closely related theories of combinators and type systems, are important foundations in the study of mathematics, logic, and computer programming language.

This paper gives some new perspectives in Type Theory, including a new meaning of openness of Type Theory. We'll start from the fundamentals: "what is type", "propositions as types", and then go to type-theoretic analogues of a set, subset, pair, union, intersection, function, relation, etc. We will consider two meanings of this popular statement "Type Theory is open-ended", one is old and the other one is new. They are related but the new one is much deeper. It shows that the Type Theory is VERY different from the Set Theory. Time permitting we'll discuss dependent intersection (a relatively new result by Alexei Kopylov) and records. November 25 talk Walter Dean (GC and Rutgers).

It may also be described as a study of mathematical structures from the logician's point of view. Model theory at its best is a delightful blend of abstract and concrete reasoning. Among the topics to be treated in this course are Fraisse's characterisation of the notion 'elementary equivalence' (structures A,B are called elementarily equivalent if they satisfy the same first-order-sentences), the compactness theorem and its many consequences, ultraproducts, some non-standard-analysis, Tarski's decision method for the field of real numbers by quantifier elimination and Robinson's notion of model completeness. If time permits, some attention will be given to constructive and recursive model theory.

26. Arithmetic In Lambda Calculus - Wolfram Demonstration Project lambda calculus was developed by Alonzo Church and Stephen Kleene in 1930 and It is a system capable of universal computation, that is, any computable http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ArithmeticInLambdaCalculus/

Arithmetic in Lambda Calculus loadFlash(644, 387, 'ArithmeticInLambdaCalculus'); Lambda calculus was developed by Alonzo Church and Stephen Kleene in 1930 and consists of a single transformation rule (variable substitution) and a single function definition scheme. It is a system capable of universal computation, that is, any computable function that can be computed in any of the standard programming languages can also be done in lambda calculus, though it might be very hard to actually carry out. Only the basic arithmetic operations successor, testing for zero, addition, multiplication, and exponentiation are considered here. The second numeral is not used for successor or testing for zero. The central concept in λ calculus is the "expression". A "name" (or "variable") is an identifier that can be any letter. An expression is defined recursively as follows: In order to apply a function to an argument by substituting the argument for a variable in the body of the function and for giving a name to the function determined by a rule, it is necessary to define the following terms: 1) The identity function: (( 2) Self-application: . Applying this to any expression expr results in (expr expr), which may or may not make sense.

Fall 2001, CSE 520: Lecture 1 The Lambda Calculus Some history 1932: Alonzo Church develops the (type-free) Lambda Calculus as part of a general theory of functions and logic, intended as a foundation for mathematics. The whole system was proved inconsistent by Kleene and Rosser (1935), but the Lambda Calculus (taken alone) was proved consistent by Chuch and Rosser (as a consequence of the Church-Rosser property of the Lambda Calculus). 1937: Turing proves that every function computable by a Turing machine can be represented in the Lambda Calculus, and viceversa. In the same years, Church formulates the statement which is known as Church's Thesis Every computable function can be defined in the Lambda Calculus Namely every function which can ever be computed algoritmically can be expressed in the Lambda Calculus. This statement cannot be proved formally, of course, because the notion of "algoritmic computability" is not defined formally. But, as a matter of fact, this "conjecture" has never been "disproved": not even the most sophisticated modern machines and programming languages can define more functions than those defined by the lambda calculus (or any of the other equivalent formalisms: Recursive functions, Turing machines, etc.). Based on the Lambda Calculus, a class of programming languages have been developed: the so-called Functional Languages (Lisp, Scheme, ML, Haskell, ...)

Recursive Function Theory - Another Summary This page is just a mail series (with some editing) that I started while I was trying to read up on lambda calculus from various websites and papers. This, I think, will make nice reading to anybody interested in the subject. But bear in mind that this was just done for fun, and an experiment in a group of friends using mails to learn something new. A lot of things could be missing, wrong or stupid, please let me know if this is the case. Series on Lambda Calculus Tell me how you like the idea and if you have any suggestion. Also, start thinking about doing something yourself too. In fact, I think its even OK, to send a huge article (somebody else's) on a subject, bit by bit everyday (just copy and paste), as long as we all read it and discuss it, its worth the time and the effort (or so I think). Lets hope all this works out well, and reaches its completion.

Intuitively, this means to reduce a number of redexes (existing in a lambda term) simultaneously. During the talk, after reevaluating the significance of the notion of parallel reduction in Tait-and-Martin-L¶f type proofs of the Church-Rosser theorems, we show that the notion of parallel reduction is also useful in giving short and direct proofs of some other fundamental theorems in reduction theory of lambda calculus.

A new "feasible arithmetic" ps pdf with Steve Bellantoni To appear in JSL. A classical quantified modal logic is used to define a ``feasible'' arithmetic whose provably total functions are exactly the polynomial-time computable functions. The crucial restrictions are (1) that induction is limited to modality-free formulas and (2) that an induction hypothesis may be used at most once (in the sense of linear logic). The logic is defined without any reference to bounding terms, and admits induction over formulas having arbitrarily many alternations of unbounded quantifiers. Implementing a Program Logic of Objects in a Higher-Order Logic Theorem Prover ps.gz pdf with Francis Tang Preprint. We present an implementation of a program logic of objects, extending that (AL) of Abadi and Leino. In particular, the implementation uses higher-order abstract syntax (HOAS) and - unlike previous approaches using HOAS - at the same time uses the built-in higher-order logic of the theorem prover to formulate specifications. We give examples of verifications, extending those given in [Abadi, Leino 1997], that have been attempted with the implementation. Due to the mixing of HOAS and built-in logic the soundness of the encoding is nontrivial. In particular, unlike in other HOAS encodings of program logics, it is not possible to directly reduce normal proofs in the higher-order system to proofs in the first-order object logic.

The typical SMCC in which models of a quantum lambda theory will be interpreted is Hilb , the category of Hilbert spaces and linear transformations between them. Models of lambda theories correspond to functors from the CCC arising from the theory into Set . Similarly, models of a quantum lambda theory should be functors from a SMCC to Hilb Two-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) are close to being a model of a quantum lambda theory, but not quite. Set TQFTs are functors from , the theory of a commutative Frobenius algebra, to Hilb . We can look at as defining a data type and a TQFT as a quantum implementation of the type. When we take the free SMCC over , we ought to get a full-fledged quantum programming language with a commutative Frobenius algebra data type. A TQFT would be part of the implementation of the language. Posted in Category theory Math Programming Quantum ...

The Little Calculist: Jewels Of The Lambda Calculus: Abstraction As Generalizati LC is a ultrageneral calculus of computable functions, so it captures The point is that the lambda calculus formalizes the metalanguage we use to talk http://calculist.blogspot.com/2006/04/jewels-of-lambda-calculus-abstraction.html

The Little Calculist Dave Herman's research blog. Thursday, April 27, 2006 Jewels of the lambda calculus: abstraction as generalization Since there are few things as likely to inspire in me a sense of religious reverence as the lambda calculus, I've decided to start a new series on some of the deep principles of computer science lurking in the lambda calculus. Let's start with the crown jewel, abstraction: x e This simple form represents the first rule of programming. Ruby hackers call it the " don't repeat yourself " rule. Perl hackers call it laziness : good programmers avoid repetitive, manual tasks. No matter the size, shape, or form, any time you write a program, you create an abstraction, a piece of code that automates a common task that otherwise would have to be repeated by a human. Lambda abstractions represent the generalization of repeated patterns by parameterizing over their differences. If you perform several computations that are similar but not identical: then each one of these computations is a special case of a more generalized procedure. The abstraction of the three is represented by parameterizing over the portion where they differ: c c From functions to abstract classes to Microsoft Office macros to parametric polymorphism, every form of abstraction is at its heart this same phenomenon.
