A lambda term $F$ lambda-defines $f:{\mathbb{N}}^k\to \mathbb{N}$ when, for all $n_1,\dots ,n_k$,where $c_n$ is the Church numeral for $n$.

No. Let $c_0=\lambda f.\lambda x.x$ and setBoth terms send every Church numeral to $c_0$, so both define the constant-zero function. They are distinct beta-normal forms, however, and the Church-Rosser theorem implies that distinct beta-normal forms cannot be beta-equivalent.

A partial function $f:{\mathbb{N}}^k\rightharpoonup \mathbb{N}$ is lambda-definable if there is a lambda term $F$ such thatwhenever the value is defined, while outside the domain the application reduces to no Church numeral.
