Refinement Types as Higher Order Dependency Pairs
Refinement types are a well-studied manner of performing in-depth analysis on
functional programs. The dependency pair method is a very powerful method used
to prove termination of rewrite systems; however its extension to higher order
rewrite systems is still the object of active research. We observe that a
variant of refinement types allow us to express a form of higher-order
dependency pair criterion that only uses information at the type level, and we
prove the correctness of this criterion

On closed subgroups of the group of homeomorphisms of a manifold
Let be a triangulable compact manifold. We prove that, among closed
subgroups of \homeo_{0}(M) (the identity component of the group of
homeomorphisms of ), the subgroup consisting of volume preserving elements
is maximal
Infinite subgame perfect equilibrium in the Hausdorff difference hierarchy
Subgame perfect equilibria are specific Nash equilibria in perfect
information games in extensive form. They are important because they relate to
the rationality of the players. They always exist in infinite games with
continuous real-valued payoffs, but may fail to exist even in simple games with
slightly discontinuous payoffs. This article considers only games whose outcome
functions are measurable in the Hausdorff difference hierarchy of the open sets
(\textit{i.e.} when in the Baire space), and it characterizes the
families of linear preferences such that every game using these preferences has
a subgame perfect equilibrium: the preferences without infinite ascending
chains (of course), and such that for all players and and outcomes
we have . Moreover at
each node of the game, the equilibrium constructed for the proof is
Pareto-optimal among all the outcomes occurring in the subgame. Additional
results for non-linear preferences are presented.Comment: The alternative definition of the difference hierarchy has changed
