Abstract

Algorithmic Theory of Stacks ATS formalizes properties of relational systems of stacks. It turns out that apart of previously known axioms, the new axiom of algorithmic nature [while - empty(s)do s := pop(s)]true is in place. The representation theorem stating that every relational system of stacks is isomorphic to a system of finite sequences of elements is proved. The connections between ATS and a type STACKS declaration /written in LOGLAN programming language/ are shown.
