Confluency and strong normalizability of call-by-value $$\lambda \mu$$-calculus. (English) Zbl 1018.68016
Summary: This paper proves the confluency and the strong normalizability of the call-by-value $$\lambda \mu$$-calculus with the domain-free style. The confluency of the system is proved by improving the parallel reduction method of Baba et al. The strong normalizability is proved by using the modified CPS-translation, which preserves the typability and the reduction relation. This paper defines the class of the reductions whose strictness is preserved by the modified CPS-translation to prove the strong normalizability.
