Howe's Method for Contextual Semantics
2015
International Conference on Concurrency Theory
We show how to use Howe's method to prove that context bisimilarity is a congruence for process calculi equipped with their usual semantics. ...
We apply the method to two extensions of HOπ, with passivation and with join patterns, illustrating different proof techniques. ...
Howe's Method in HOπ with Contextual Semantics 2.1 Syntax and Contextual Semantics We recall the syntax and contextual semantics of (the process-passing fragment of) HOπ [13] in Figure 1 , omitting ...

Howe's Method for Calculi with Passivation
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We show how to apply Howe's method for the proof of congruence of early bisimilarities in a higher-order process calculus with passivation. ...
We show that complementary semantics is equivalent to contextual semantics, originally introduced by Sangiorgi, that relies on classical transition systems for higher-order calculi and context bisimilarity ...
Complementary Semantics for HOπP We define a new semantics for HOπP that coincides with the contextual one, yet allows the use of Howe's method to prove the soundness of early bisimilarities. ...

Effectful Applicative Similarity for Call-by-Name Lambda Calculi
2017
Italian Conference on Theoretical Computer Science
This is the first fullabstraction result for such a generic, coinductive methodology for program equivalence. ...
The main techincal part of the Howe's method is the so-called Key Lemma, which basically states that the Howe's extension of a relation is contained in the relation itself. ...

Unique Fixed Point Induction for McCarthy's Amb
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We develop two sound and useful reasoning methods which, in combination, enable us to prove a rich collection of laws for contextual equivalence and also provide a unique xed point induction rule, the ...
However, conventional semantic xed point principles for reasoning about recursion fail in the presence of fairness. ...
Higher-order co-inductive operational techniques, based upon Howe's method for proving congruence of bisimulation equivalences for functional languages 7], have been applied to non-deterministic functional ...

Extending Howe's Method to Early Bisimulations for Typed Mobile Embedded Resources with Local Names
[chapter]
2005
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We extend Howe's method to prove that input-early strong and -delay contextual bisimulations are congruences for the Higher-order mobile embedded resources (Homer) calculus, a typed higher order process ...
The extension of Howe's method provides considerably simpler congruence proofs than established previously for similar calculi for mobile processes in nested locations. ...
The simplicity of the calculus helps us to adapt Howe's method to show that both strong and so called delay input-early contextual bisimulation are congruences for Homer. ...

Applicative May- and Should-Simulation in the Call-by-Value Lambda Calculus with AMB
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Soundness of the applicative similarities w.r.t. contextual equivalence based on mayand should-convergence is proved by adapting Howe's method to should-convergence. ...
As usual for nondeterministic calculi, similarity is not complete w.r.t. contextual equivalence which requires a rather complex counter example as a witness. ...
Doing the same using Howe's method for ↑ X as for LCA shows: Theorem 5.3. ...

Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
We propose the first sound and complete bisimilarities for the call-by-name and call-by-value untyped λμcalculus, defined in the applicative style. ...

Howe devised a method to prove this, and his method has been widely adapted and applied. This paper deals with this challenge for call-by-need computation including non-determinism. ...
The main result is that for SHOCS languages mutual similarity is sound for reasoning about contextual equivalence based on may-convergence. ...
