Complete Characterisation

This paper gives a complete characterisation of type isomorphism definable by terms of a λ-calculus with intersection and union types. Unfortunately, when union is considered the Subject Reduction property does not hold in general. However, it is well known that in the λ-calculus, independently of the considered type system, the isomorphism between two types can be realised only by invertible terms. Notably, all invertible terms are linear terms. In this paper, the isomorphism of intersection and union types is investigated using a relevant type system for linear terms enjoying the Subject Reduction property. To characterise type isomorphism, a similarity between types and a type reduction are introduced. Types have a unique normal form with respect to the reduction rules and two types are isomorphic if and only if their normal forms are similar.

Trust Information

This paper introduces trust analysis for higher-order languages. Trust analysis encourages the programmer to make explicit the trustworthiness of data, and in return it can guarantee that no mistakes with respect to trust will be made at run-time. We present a confluent λ-calculus with explicit trust operations, and we equip it with a trust-type system which has the subject reduction property. Trust information is presented as annotations of the underlying Curry types, and type inference is computable in O(n3) time.

AbstractWe examine applicability of normal forms of non-holonomic robotic systems to the problem of motion planning. A case study is analyzed of a planar, free-floating space robot consisting of a mobile base equipped with an on-board manipulator. It is assumed that during the robot’s motion its conserved angular momentum is zero. The motion planning problem is first solved at velocity level, and then torques at the joints are found as a solution of an inverse dynamics problem. A novelty of this paper lies in using the chained normal form of the robot’s dynamics and corresponding feedback transformations for motion planning at the velocity level. Two basic cases are studied, depending on the position of mounting point of the on-board manipulator. Comprehensive computational results are presented, and compared with the results provided by the Endogenous Configuration Space Approach. Advantages and limitations of applying normal forms for robot motion planning are discussed.

Kolmogorov's Theorem

This paper addresses mathematical aspects of fuzzy logic. The main results obtained in this paper are: 1. the introduction of a concept of normal form in fuzzy logic using hedges; 2. using Kolmogorov’s theorem, we prove that all logical operations in fuzzy logic have normal forms; 3. for min-max operators, we obtain an approximation result similar to the universal approximation property of neural networks.

For non-singular matrices with some restrictions, we establish the relationships between Smith normal forms and transforming matrices (a invertible matrices that transform the matrix to its Smith normal form) of two matrices with corresponding matrices of their least common right multiple over a commutative principal ideal domains. Thus, for such a class of matrices, given answer to the well-known task of M. Newman. Moreover, for such matrices, received a new method for finding their least common right multiple which is based on the search for its Smith normal form and transforming matrices.

AbstractTraditional combinatory logic uses combinators S and K to represent all Turing-computable functions on natural numbers, but there are Turing-computable functions on the combinators themselves that cannot be so represented, because they access internal structure in ways that S and K cannot. Much of this expressive power is captured by adding a factorisation combinator F. The resulting SF-calculus is structure complete, in that it supports all pattern-matching functions whose patterns are in normal form, including a function that decides structural equality of arbitrary normal forms. A general characterisation of the structure complete, confluent combinatory calculi is given along with some examples. These are able to represent all their Turing-computable functions whose domain is limited to normal forms. The combinator F can be typed using an existential type to represent internal type information.

Unique Normal Forms

A sufficient condition for the uniqueness of the Nth order normal form is provided. A new grading function is proposed and used to prove the uniqueness of the first-order normal forms of generalized Hopf singularities. Recursive formulas for computation of coefficients of unique normal forms of generalized Hopf singularities are also presented.
