Execution Time of -Terms via Denotational Semantics and Intersection Types
This is an edited version of "Execution Time of -terms via Non-Uniform Semantics and Intersection Types", Preprint IML, 2006.The multiset based relational semantics for linear logic induces a semantics for the type free -calculus. This one is built on non-idempotent intersection types. We prove that the size of the derivations and the size of the types are closely related to the execution time of -terms in a particular environment machine, Krivine's machine
Indexed linear logic and higher-order model checking
In recent work, Kobayashi observed that the acceptance by an alternating tree
automaton A of an infinite tree T generated by a higher-order recursion scheme
G may be formulated as the typability of the recursion scheme G in an
appropriate intersection type system associated to the automaton A. The purpose
of this article is to establish a clean connection between this line of work
and Bucciarelli and Ehrhard's indexed linear logic. This is achieved in two
steps. First, we recast Kobayashi's result in an equivalent infinitary
intersection type system where intersection is not idempotent anymore. Then, we
show that the resulting type system is a fragment of an infinitary version of
Bucciarelli and Ehrhard's indexed linear logic. While this work is very
preliminary and does not integrate key ingredients of higher-order
model-checking like priorities, it reveals an interesting and promising
connection between higher-order model-checking and linear logic.Comment: In Proceedings ITRS 2014, arXiv:1503.0437
Relational type-checking for MELL proof-structures. Part 1: Multiplicatives
Relational semantics for linear logic is a form of non-idempotent
intersection type system, from which several informations on the execution of a
proof-structure can be recovered. An element of the relational interpretation
of a proof-structure R with conclusion acts thus as a type (refining
) having R as an inhabitant. We are interested in the following
type-checking question: given a proof-structure R, a list of formulae ,
and a point x in the relational interpretation of , is x in the
interpretation of R? This question is decidable. We present here an algorithm
that decides it in time linear in the size of R, if R is a proof-structure in
the multiplicative fragment of linear logic. This algorithm can be extended to
larger fragments of multiplicative-exponential linear logic containing
-calculus
Call-by-value non-determinism in a linear logic type discipline
We consider the call-by-value lambda-calculus extended with a may-convergent
non-deterministic choice and a must-convergent parallel composition. Inspired
by recent works on the relational semantics of linear logic and non-idempotent
intersection types, we endow this calculus with a type system based on the
so-called Girard's second translation of intuitionistic logic into linear
logic. We prove that a term is typable if and only if it is converging, and
that its typing tree carries enough information to give a bound on the length
of its lazy call-by-value reduction. Moreover, when the typing tree is minimal,
such a bound becomes the exact length of the reduction
