Simply-Typed Lambda Calculus


Reduction is weak, deterministic, and CBV. Weak means that reduction does not descent into lambda abstractions. Only closed beta redexes are reduced.

Abstract Syntax

Inductive var : Type :=
| Var : nat -> var.

Inductive ty : Type :=
| Nat : ty (* nat *)
| Fun : ty -> ty -> ty. (* function type *)

Inductive tm : Type :=
