Abstract:We present a novel compiled approach to Normalisation by Evaluation (NBE) for ML-like languages. It supports efficient normalisation of open λ-terms with respect to β-reduction and rewrite rules. We have implemented NBE and show both a detailed formal model of our implementation and its verification in Isabelle. Finally we discuss how NBE is turned into a proof rule in Isabelle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
