A typed parallel lambda-calculus via 1-depth intermediate proofs

22 pagesPublished: May 27, 2020

Abstract

We introduce a Curry–Howard correspondence for a large class of intermediate logics characterized by intuitionistic proofs with non-nested applications of rules for classical disjunctive tautologies (1-depth intermediate proofs). The resulting calculus, we call it λ∥, is a strongly normalizing parallel extension of the simply typed λ-calculus. Although simple, the λ∥ reduction rules can model arbitrary process network topologies, and encode interesting parallel programs ranging from numeric computation to algorithms on graphs.

Keyphrases: functional programming languages, hypersequent calculi, intermediate logics, lambda calculus, natural deduction, type theory
