Intuitionistic Light Affine Logic

Intuitionistic Light Affine Logic This article is a structured introduction to Intuitionistic Light Affine Logic ( ILAL ). ILAL has a polynomially costing normalization, and it is expressive enough to encode, and simulate, all PolyTime Turing machines. The bound on the normalization cost is proved by introducing the proof-nets for ILAL . The bound follows from a suitable normalization strategy that exploits structural properties of the proof-nets. This allows us to have a good understanding of the meaning of the § modality, which is a peculiarity of light logics. The expressive power of ILAL is demonstrated in full detail. Such a proof gives a hint of the nontrivial task of programming with resource limitations, using ILAL derivations as programs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM Transactions on Computational Logic (TOCL) Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

This article is a structured introduction to Intuitionistic Light Affine Logic ( ILAL ). ILAL has a polynomially costing normalization, and it is expressive enough to encode, and simulate, all PolyTime Turing machines. The bound on the normalization cost is proved by introducing the proof-nets for ILAL . The bound follows from a suitable normalization strategy that exploits structural properties of the proof-nets. This allows us to have a good understanding of the meaning of the § modality, which is a peculiarity of light logics. The expressive power of ILAL is demonstrated in full detail. Such a proof gives a hint of the nontrivial task of programming with resource limitations, using ILAL derivations as programs.
