Book Description
As society comes to rely increasingly on software for its welfare and prosperity there is an urgent need to create systems in which it can trust. Experience has shown that confidence can only come from a more profound understanding of the issues, which in turn can come only if it is based on logically sound foundations. This volume contains contributions from leading researchers in the critical disciplines of computing and information science, mathematics, logic, and complexity. All contributions are self-contained, aiming at comprehensibility as well as comprehensiveness. The volume also contains introductory hints to technical issues, concise surveys, introductions, and various fresh results and new perspectives.

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras I
Author: V.V. Gorbatsevich
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540612223
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
From the reviews: "..., the book must be of great help for a researcher who already has some idea of Lie theory, wants to employ it in his everyday research and/or teaching, and needs a source for customary reference on the subject. From my viewpoint, the volume is perfectly fit to serve as such a source, ... On the whole, it is quite a pleasure, after making yourself comfortable in that favourite office armchair of yours, just to keep the volume gently in your hands and browse it slowly and thoughtfully; and after all, what more on Earth can one expect of any book?" --The New Zealand Mathematical Society Newsletter

Domain-theoretic Foundations Of Functional Programming
Author: Thomas Streicher
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813106867
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This textbook provides a basis for a PhD course on domain-theoretic semantics of functional programming languages and their meta-mathematical properties. It introduces basic domain theory and the technique of logical relations as developed by Scott and Plotkin. The solution of recursive domain equations is explained in detail.A complete discussion of the famous full abstraction problem for PCF (a functional Kernel language due to Scott and Plotkin) is given including a construction of the fully abstract Milner model using Kripke logical relations.A final chapter introduces computability in Scott domains and shows that this model is fully abstract and universal for appropriate extensions of PCF by parallel language constructs.

Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Category theory and related topics of mathematics have been increasingly applied to computer science in recent years. This book contains selected papers from the London Mathematical Society Symposium on the subject which was held at the University of Durham. Participants at the conference were leading computer scientists and mathematicians working in the area and this volume reflects the excitement and importance of the meeting. All the papers have been refereed and represent some of the most important and current ideas. Hence this book will be essential to mathematicians and computer scientists working in the applications of category theory.

Categorical Combinators, Sequential Algorithms, and Functional Programming
Author: P.-L. Curien
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461203171
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
This book is a revised edition of the monograph which appeared under the same title in the series Research Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, Pit man, in 1986. In addition to a general effort to improve typography, English, and presentation, the main novelty of this second edition is the integration of some new material. Part of it is mine (mostly jointly with coauthors). Here is brief guide to these additions. I have augmented the account of categorical combinatory logic with a description of the confluence properties of rewriting systems of categor ical combinators (Hardin, Yokouchi), and of the newly developed cal culi of explicit substitutions (Abadi, Cardelli, Curien, Hardin, Levy, and Rios), which are similar in spirit to the categorical combinatory logic, but are closer to the syntax of A-calculus (Section 1.2). The study of the full abstraction problem for PCF and extensions of it has been enriched with a new full abstraction result: the model of sequential algorithms is fully abstract with respect to an extension of PCF with a control operator (Cartwright, Felleisen, Curien). An order extensional model of error-sensitive sequential algorithms is also fully abstract for a corresponding extension of PCF with a control operator and errors (Sections 2.6 and 4.1). I suggest that sequential algorithms lend themselves to a decomposition of the function spaces that leads to models of linear logic (Lamarche, Curien), and that connects sequentiality with games (Joyal, Blass, Abramsky) (Sections 2.1 and 2.6).
