A Standard Model-Theoretic Approach to Operational Semantics of Recursive Programs

In this paper we try to introduce a new approach to operational semantics of recursive programs by using ideas in the“priority method”which is a fundamental tool in Recursion Theory.In lieu of modelling partial functions by introducing undefined values in a traditional approach,we shall define a priority derivation tree for every term,and by respecting the rule“attacking the subterm of the highest priority first”we define transition relations,computation sequences etc.directly based on a standard interpreta…
