Non-idempotent intersection types for the Lambda-Calculus

Antonio Bucciarelli, Delia Kesner, Daniel Lima Ventura

Open publisher page 55 citations

Abstract

This article explores the use of non-idempotent intersection types in the framework of the λ-calculus. Different topics are presented in a uniform framework: head normalization, weak normalization, weak head normalization, strong normalization, inhabitation, exact bounds and principal typings. The reducibility technique, traditionally used when working with idempotent types, is replaced in this framework by trivial combinatorial arguments.
