Abstract

We study recursive types from a syntactic perspective. In particular, we compare the formulations of recursive types that are used in programming languages and formal systems. Our main tool is a new syntactic explanation of type expressions as functors. We also introduce a simple logic for programs with recursive types in which we carry out our proofs.
