A language for multiplicative-additive linear logic

Category Theory 2010-03-03 v1 Logic

Abstract

A term calculus for the proofs in multiplicative-additive linear logic is introduced and motivated as a programming language for channel based concurrency. The term calculus is proved complete for a semantics in linearly distributive categories with additives. It is also shown that proof equivalence is decidable by showing that the cut elimination rewrites supply a confluent rewriting system modulo equations.
