Fibrational Induction Rules for Initial Algebras
This paper provides an induction rule that can be used to prove properties of data structures whose types are inductive, i.e., are carriers of initial algebras of functors. Our res...

Indexed Induction and Coinduction, Fibrationally
This paper extends the fibrational approach to induction and coinduction pioneered by Hermida and Jacobs, and developed by the current authors, in two key directions. First, we pr...

Initial Algebra Semantics Is Enough!
Initial algebra semantics is a cornerstone of the theory of modern functional programming languages. For each inductive data type, it provides a fold combinator encapsulating struc...

Strictness Properties of Lazy Algebraic Datatypes
A new construction of a finite set of strictness properties for any lazy algebraic datatype is presented. The construction is based on the categorical view of the solutions to the...
