Monadic presentations of Lambda terms using generalized inductive types

We present a definition of untyped l-terms using a heterogeneous datatype, i.e. an inductively defined operator. This operator can be extended to a Kleisli triple, which is a concise way to verify the substitution laws for l-calculus. We also observe that repetitions in the definition of the monad as well as in the proofs can be avoided by using well-founded recursion and induction instead of structural induction. We extend the construction to the simply typed l-calculus using dependent types, and show that this is an instance of a generalization of Kleisli triples. The proofs for the untyped case have been checked using the LEGO system.
