Abstract

A type theoretic programming language is introduced that is based on lambda calculus with coproducts, products and inductive types, and additionally allows the definition of recursive functions in the way that is common in most functional programming languages. A formal system is presented that checks whether such a definition is structurally recursive and a soundness theorem is shown for this system. Thus all functions passing this check are ensured to terminate on all inputs. For the moment only non-mutual recursive functions are considered.
