Execution Time of lambda-Terms via Denotational Semantics and Intersection Types

Logic in Computer Science 2009-05-27 v1 Computational Complexity

Abstract

The multiset based relational model of linear logic induces a semantics of the type free lambda-calculus, which corresponds to a non-idempotent intersection type system, System R. We prove that, in System R, the size of the type derivations and the size of the types are closely related to the execution time of lambda-terms in a particular environment machine, Krivine's machine.
