We investigate program equivalence for linear higher-order(sequential) languages endowed with primitives for computational effects. More specifically, we study operationally-based notions of program equivalence for a linear $lambda$-calculus with explicit copying and algebraic effects emph{`a la} Plotkin and Power. Such a calculus makes explicit the interaction between copying and linearity, which are intensional aspects of computation, with effects, which are, instead, emph{extensional}. We review some of the notions of equivalences for linear calculi proposed in the literature and show their limitations when applied to effectful calculi where copying is a first-class citizen. We then introduce resource transition systems, namely transition systems whose states are built over tuples of programs representing the available resources, as an operational semantics accounting for both intensional and extensional interactive behaviors of programs. Our main result is a sound and complete characterization of contextual equivalence as trace equivalence defined on top of resource transition systems.

A sound and complete algorithm for nominal unification of higher-order expressions with a recursive let is described, and shown to run in non-deterministic polynomial time. We also explore specializations like nominal letrec-matching for plain expres sions and for DAGs and determine the complexity of corresponding unification problems.
We present a self-certifying compiler for the COGENT systems language. COGENT is a restricted, polymorphic, higher-order, and purely functional language with linear types and without the need for a trusted runtime or garbage collector. It compiles to efficient C code that is designed to interoperate with existing C functions. The language is suited for layered systems code with minimal sharing such as file systems or network protocol control code. For a well-typed COGENT program, the compiler produces C code, a high-level shallow embedding of its semantics in Isabelle/HOL, and a proof that the C code correctly implements this embedding. The aim is for proof engineers to reason about the full semantics of real-world systems code productively and equationally, while retaining the interoperability and leanness of C. We describe the formal verification stages of the compiler, which include automated formal refinement calculi, a switch from imperative update semantics to functional value semantics formally justified by the linear type system, and a number of standard compiler phases such as type checking and monomorphisation. The compiler certificate is a series of language-level meta proofs and per-program translation validation phases, combined into one coherent top-level theorem in Isabelle/HOL.

We argue that the implementation and verification of compilers for functional programming languages are greatly simplified by employing a higher-order representation of syntax known as Higher-Order Abstract Syntax or HOAS. The underlying idea of HOAS is to use a meta-language that provides a built-in and logical treatment of binding related notions. By embedding the meta-language within a larger programming or reasoning framework, it is possible to absorb the treatment of binding structure in the object language into the meta-theory of the system, thereby greatly simplifying the overall implementation and reasoning processes. We develop the above argument in this thesis by presenting and demonstrating the effectiveness of an approach to the verified implementation of compiler transformations for functional programs that exploits HOAS. In this approach, transformations on functional programs are first articulated in the form of rule-based relational specifications. These specifications are rendered into programs in the language lambda Prolog. On the one hand, these programs serve directly as implementations. On the other hand, they can be used as input to the Abella system which allows us to prove properties about them and thereby about the implementations. Both lambda Prolog and Abella support the use of the HOAS approach. Thus, they constitute a framework that can be used to test out the benefits of the HOAS approach in verified compilation. We use them to implement and verify a compiler for a representative functional programming language that embodies the transformations that form the core of many compilers for such languages. In both the programming and the reasoning phases, we show how the use of the HOAS approach significantly simplifies the representation, manipulation, analysis and reasoning of binding structure.

We consider the problem of under and over-approximating the image of general vector-valued functions over bounded sets, and apply the proposed solution to the estimation of reachable sets of uncertain non-linear discrete-time dynamical systems. Such a combination of under and over-approximations is very valuable for the verification of properties of embedded and cyber-physical controlled systems. Over-approximations prove properties correct, while under-approximations can be used for falsification. Coupled, they provide a measure of the conservatism of the analysis. This work introduces a general framework relying on computations of robust ranges of vector-valued functions. This framework allows us to extend for under-approximation many precision refinements that are classically used for over-approximations, such as affine approximations, Taylor models, quadrature formulae and preconditioning methods. We end by evaluating the efficiency and precision of our approach, focusing on the application to the analysis of discrete-time dynamical systems with inputs and disturbances, on different examples from the literature.
