| Abstract:The Logic of Partial Functions (LPF) is used to reason about propositions that include terms that can fail to denote values: this paper provides two semantic descriptions for LPF. A Structural Operational Semantics (SOS) gives an intuitive introduction; this is followed by a denotational semantics where relations are chosen for denotations offering an intuitive model of undefined terms. Finally, we illustrate how the denotational semantics can
be used as a basis for proofs about propositions that include terms that can fail to denote. |
