2 Focus theory Pulman has shown that Higher-Order Unifcation (HOU) can be used to model the interpretation of focus. In this paper, we extend the unification based approach to case...
Abstract. Nominal Logic is an extension of first-order logic with equality, name-binding, name-swapping, and freshness of names. Contrarily to higher-order logic, bound variables a...
Abstract. We provide a complete system of transformation rules for semantic unification with respect to theories defined by convergent rewrite systems. We show that this standard u...
In this paper, we show that Higher-Order Coloured Unification - a form of unification developed for automated theorem proving - provides a general theory for modeling the interfac...
Abstract. We present an abstract view of existential variables in a dependently typed lambda-calculus based on modal type theory. This allows us to justify optimizations to pattern...
