Inhabitation for Non-idempotent Intersection Types
The inhabitation problem for intersection types in the lambda-calculus is
known to be undecidable. We study the problem in the case of non-idempotent
intersection, considering several type assignment systems, which characterize
the solvable or the strongly normalizing lambda-terms. We prove the
decidability of the inhabitation problem for all the systems considered, by
providing sound and complete inhabitation algorithms for them
Types as Resources for Classical Natural Deduction
We define two resource aware typing systems for the lambda-mu-calculus based on non-idempotent intersection and union types. The
non-idempotent approach provides very simple combinatorial arguments - based on decreasing measures of type derivations - to characterize head and strongly normalizing terms. Moreover, typability provides upper bounds for the length of head-reduction sequences and maximal reduction sequences
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
Filter models: non-idempotent intersection types, orthogonality and polymorphism - long version
This paper revisits models of typed lambda-calculus based on filters of intersection types: By using non-idempotent intersections, we simplify a methodology that produces modular proofs of strong normalisation based on filter models. Non-idempotent intersections provide a decreasing measure proving a key termination property, simpler than the reducibility techniques used with idempotent intersections. Such filter models are shown to be captured by orthogonality techniques: we formalise an abstract notion of orthogonality model inspired by classical realisability, and express a filter model as one of its instances, along with two term-models (one of which captures a now common technique for strong normalisation). Applying the above range of model constructions to Curry-style System F describes at different levels of detail how the infinite polymorphism of System F can systematically be reduced to the finite polymorphism of intersection types
Filter Models: Non-idempotent Intersection Types, Orthogonality and Polymorphism
This paper revisits models of typed lambda calculus based on filters of intersection types:
By using non-idempotent intersections, we simplify a methodology that produces modular proofs of strong normalisation based on filter models. Building such a model for some type theory shows that typed terms can be typed with intersections only, and are therefore strongly normalising. Non-idempotent intersections provide a decreasing measure proving a key termination property, simpler than the reducibility techniques used with idempotent intersections.
Such filter models are shown to be captured by orthogonality techniques: we formalise an abstract notion of orthogonality model inspired by classical realisability, and express a filter model as one of its instances, along with two term-models (one of which captures a now common technique for strong normalisation).

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
