A Certified Study of a Reversible Programming Language

Abstract

We advance in the study of the semantics of Janus, a C-like reversible programming language. Our study makes utterly explicit some backward and forward evaluation symmetries. We want to deepen mathematical knowledge about the foundations and design principles of reversible computing and programming languages. We formalize a big-step operational semantics and a denotational semantics of Janus. We show a full abstraction result between the operational and denotational semantics. Last, we certify our results by means of the proof assistant Matita.
