Abstract

The logical framework LF [HHP93] is a meta-language for specifying formal languages and related algorithms. It is typically used to represent programming languages, type systems and logics, such as operational semantics, compilers, natural deduction, sequent calculi, etc. For a survey on logical frameworks consult [PFe99]. LF derives its expressive power from dependent types together with higher-order representation techniques which directly support common concepts in deductive systems such as variable binding, capture-avoiding substitutions, parametric and hypothetical judgments and substitution properties.
