Abstract

This paper develops a program synthesis method based upon intuitionistic logic. This method is essentially an application of Gödel's interpretation which is also called Dialectica interpretation. By the use of Gödel's interpretation, it is possible to transform proof figures of intuitionistic number theory into primitive recursive functionals. The present concept is that primitive recursive functionals can be represented by LISP programs. Consequently, proof figures can be transformed into computer programs. To confirm this idea experimentally, a program synthesizer GDL0, which is a PDP-11 (DEC) program, is implemented. GDL0 experimental applications results are presented.
