Summary on Grant Application Form |
Pre-logical relations are promising notion to formulate refinement. We have many examples, but we have not yet explored many areas of potential application. Hoare, He and Sanders introduced a particular pair of downward and upward simulations to give joint completeness result for relational semantics of nu-calculus. We first plan to investigate whether this pair of simulations is pre-logical relation for fixpoint calculi including mu-calculus. If so, we can obtain a single completeness result using the notion of pre-logical relation. If that is successful, we would proceed to investigate the nature of the conditions required for commands and simulations: in Hoare, He and Sanders work, these conditions are different and somewhat ad hoc: so we plan to clarify them in this pre-logical setting.
