Potential Functions as Types
Harrison Grodin, Ethan Chu, Runming Li +2
Amortized analysis can be framed from the physicist's view, amenable to manual verification in dependent type theory using potential functions, and the banker's view, amenable to a…

Big-Stop Semantics: Small-Step Semantics in a Big-Step Judgment
David M Kahn, Jan Hoffmann, Runming Li
As is evident in the programming language literature, many practitioners favor specifying dynamic program behavior using big-step over small-step semantics. Unlike small-step seman…

Efficient Cost Bounds with Linear Maps
David M Kahn, Jan Hoffmann, Thomas Reps +1
The Automatic Amortized Resource Analysis (AARA) derives program-execution cost bounds using types. To do so, AARA often makes use of cost-free types, which are critical for the co…
