Title
Extending the Calculus of Constructions with Tarski's fix-point theorem
Abstract
We propose to use Tarski's least fixpoint theorem as a ba- sis to define recursive functions in the calculus of inductive construc- tions. This widens the class of functions that can be modeled in type- theory based theorem proving tool to potentially non-terminating func- tions. This is only possible if we extend the logical framework by adding the axioms that correspond to classical logic. We claim that the ex- tended framework makes it possible to reason about terminating and non-terminating computations and we show that common facilities of the calculus of inductive construction, like program extraction can be extended to also handle the new functions.
