Environmental Bisimulations for Delimited-Control Operators with Dynamic Prompt Generation

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-FSCD-2016-9.pdf (0.6 MB)

Abstract

We present sound and complete environmental bisimilarities for a
variant of Dybvig et al.'s calculus of multi-prompted
delimited-control operators with dynamic prompt generation. The
reasoning principles that we obtain generalize and advance the
existing techniques for establishing program equivalence in calculi
with single-prompted delimited control.

The basic theory that we develop is presented using Madiot et al.'s
framework that allows for smooth integration and composition of up-to
techniques facilitating bisimulation proofs. We also generalize the
framework in order to express environmental bisimulations that support
equivalence proofs of evaluation contexts representing
continuations. This change leads to a novel and powerful up-to
technique enhancing bisimulation proofs in the presence of control
operators.
