Fixed-point combinatorIn mathematics and computer science in general, a fixed point of a function is a value that is mapped to itself by the function. In combinatory logic for computer science, a fixed-point combinator (or fixpoint combinator) is a higher-order function that returns some fixed point of its argument function, if one exists. Formally, if the function f has one or more fixed points, then and hence, by repeated application, In the classical untyped lambda calculus, every function has a fixed point.
Lambda liftingLambda lifting is a meta-process that restructures a computer program so that functions are defined independently of each other in a global scope. An individual "lift" transforms a local function into a global function. It is a two step process, consisting of; Eliminating free variables in the function by adding parameters. Moving functions from a restricted scope to broader or global scope. The term "lambda lifting" was first introduced by Thomas Johnsson around 1982 and was historically considered as a mechanism for implementing functional programming languages.
Let expressionIn computer science, a "let" expression associates a function definition with a restricted scope. The "let" expression may also be defined in mathematics, where it associates a Boolean condition with a restricted scope. The "let" expression may be considered as a lambda abstraction applied to a value. Within mathematics, a let expression may also be considered as a conjunction of expressions, within an existential quantifier which restricts the scope of the variable.
Deductive lambda calculusDeductive lambda calculus considers what happens when lambda terms are regarded as mathematical expressions. One interpretation of the untyped lambda calculus is as a programming language where evaluation proceeds by performing reductions on an expression until it is in normal form. In this interpretation, if the expression never reduces to normal form then the program never terminates, and the value is undefined. Considered as a mathematical deductive system, each reduction would not alter the value of the expression.
Paradoxe du menteurEn philosophie et en logique mathématique, le paradoxe du menteur est un paradoxe dérivé du paradoxe du Crétois (ou paradoxe d'Épiménide). Il consiste essentiellement en une phrase se qualifiant elle-même de mensonge. Elle ne peut être alors ni vraie ni fausse. La plus ancienne formulation connue du paradoxe du menteur est attribuée à Épiménide le Crétois () dans l'énoncé , même si le paradoxe soulevé n’est pas nécessairement apparu immédiatement à l’époque.
