Project summary

RECIPROG is an ANR collaborative project (aka. PRC) starting in the fall 2021-2022 and running till the end of 2025. ReCiProg aims at extending the proofs-as-programs correspondence (aka Curry-Howard correspondence) to recursive programs and circular proofs for logics and type systems using induction and coinduction. The project will contribute both to the necessary theoretical foundations of circular proofs and to the software development allowing to enhance the use of coinductive types and coinductive reasoning in the Coq proof assistant.
