Abstract: This paper considers the existence of finite equational axiomatisations of bisimulation over a calculus of finite state processes. To express even simple properties such as XE = XE[E=X] equationally it is necessary to use some notation for substitutions. Accordingly the calculus is embedded in a simply typed lambda calculus, allowing axioms such as the above to be written as equations of higher type rather than as equation schemes. Notions of higher order transition system and bisimulation are... (Update)
