Popis: This work presents an extension of system AF2 to allow the use of infinite data types. We extend the logic with inductive and coinductive types, and show that the “programming method” is still correct. We prove propositions about the normalization of typed terms. Moreover, since we only use the pure λ-calculus to represent data types, we prove uniqueness of the representation of data up to Bohm tree equivalence. We also study the problem of equality on infinite structures and we introduce a new approach, different from the coinduction scheme, and which suits our system better.
