A Short Mechanized Proof of the Church-Rosser Theorem by the Z-property for the λβ-calculus in Nominal Isabelle

5th International Workshop on Confluence5th International Workshop on ConfluenceWe present a short proof of the Church-Rosser property for the lambda-calculus enjoying two distinguishing features: Firstly, it employs the Z-property, resulting in a short and elegant proof; and secondly, it is formalized in the nominal higher-order logic available for the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL

Generic Authenticated Data Structures, Formally

Authenticated data structures are a technique for outsourcing data storage and maintenance to an untrusted server. The server is required to produce an efficiently checkable and cryptographically secure proof that it carried out precisely the requested computation. Recently, Miller et al. [https://doi.org/10.1145/2535838.2535851] demonstrated how to support a wide range of such data structures by integrating an authentication construct as a first class citizen in a functional programming language. In this paper, we put this work to the test of formalization in the Isabelle proof assistant. With Isabelle\u27s help, we uncover and repair several mistakes and modify the small-step semantics to perform call-by-value evaluation rather than requiring terms to be in administrative normal form

Automated Reasoning

This volume, LNAI 13385, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning, IJCAR 2022, held in Haifa, Israel, in August 2022. The 32 full research papers and 9 short papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. The papers focus on the following topics: Satisfiability, SMT Solving,Arithmetic; Calculi and Orderings; Knowledge Representation and Jutsification; Choices, Invariance, Substitutions and Formalization; Modal Logics; Proofs System and Proofs Search; Evolution, Termination and Decision Prolems. This is an open access book
