  • 摘要:Working in the untyped lambda calculus, we study Morris's lambda-theory H+. Introduced in 1968, this is the original extensional theory of contextual equivalence. On the syntactic side, we show that this lambda-theory validates the omega-rule, thus settling a long-standing open problem.On the semantic side, we provide sufficient and necessary conditions for relational graph models to be fully abstract for H+. We show that a relational graph model captures Morris's observational preorder exactly when it is extensional and lambda-Konig. Intuitively, a model is lambda-Konig when every lambda-definable tree has an infinite path which is witnessed by some element of the model. Both results follow from a weak separability property enjoyed by terms differing only because of some infinite eta-expansion, which is proved through a refined version of the Böhm-out technique.
