Due to its expressiveness, higher-order logic is used for specification and verification of hardware, software, and mathematics. In these applica­ tions, higher-order logic provides the necessary level of abstraction for con­ cise and natural formulations. The main assets of higher-order logic are quan­ tification over functions or predicates and its abstraction mechanism. These allow one to represent quantification in formulas and other variable-binding constructs. In this book, we focus on equational logic as a fundamental and natural concept in computer science and mathematics. We present calculi for equa­ tional reasoning modulo higher-order equations presented as rewrite rules. This is followed by a systematic development from general equational rea­ soning towards effective calculi for declarative programming in higher-order logic and A-calculus. This aims at integrating and generalizing declarative programming models such as functional and logic programming. In these two prominent declarative computation models we can view a program as a logical theory and a computation as a deduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-12-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780817640323\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-1778-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 188\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhäuser Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185054433420,"sku":"9780817640323","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780817640323.jpg?v=1775011073","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780817640323","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
