Semantics for a Quantum Programming Language by Operator Algebras [PDF]
This paper presents a novel semantics for a quantum programming language by operator algebras, which are known to give a formulation for quantum theory that is alternative to the one by Hilbert spaces.

A Model of Cooperative Threads [PDF]
We develop a model of concurrent imperative programming with threads. We focus on a small imperative language with cooperative threads which execute without interruption until they terminate or explicitly yield control.

Theorem proving support in programming language semantics [PDF]
We describe several views of the semantics of a simple programming language as formal documents in the calculus of inductive constructions that can be verified by the Coq proof system. Covered aspects are natural semantics, denotational semantics, axiomatic semantics, and abstract interpretation.

On 0-Complete Partial Metric Spaces and Quantitative Fixed Point Techniques in Denotational Semantics [PDF]
In 1994, Matthews introduced the notion of partial metric space with the aim of providing a quantitative mathematical model suitable for program verification.

Denotational Semantics of the Simplified Lambda-Mu Calculus and a New Deduction System of Classical Type Theory [PDF]
Classical (or Boolean) type theory is the type theory that allows the type inference (σ \to \bot) \to \bot => σ (the type counterpart of double-negation elimination), where σ is any type and \bot is absurdity type.

Probabilistic modal {\mu}-calculus with independent product [PDF]
The probabilistic modal {\mu}-calculus is a fixed-point logic designed for expressing properties of probabilistic labeled transition systems (PLTS's). Two equivalent semantics have been studied for this logic, both assigning to each state a value in the ...

Smart Choices and the Selection Monad [PDF]
Describing systems in terms of choices and their resulting costs and rewards offers the promise of freeing algorithm designers and programmers from specifying how those choices should be made; in implementations, the choices can be realized by ...

A Denotational Semantics for SPARC TSO [PDF]
The SPARC TSO weak memory model is defined axiomatically, with a non-compositional formulation that makes modular reasoning about programs difficult.

ABSTRACT The evolution of language has been investigated by several research communities, including biologists and linguists, striving to highlight similar linguistic capacities across species. To date, however, no consensus exists on the linguistic capacities of non‐human species.
