Elementary affine logic and the call by value lambda calculus

In P. Urzyczyn, editor, Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, 7th International Conference, TLCA 2005, Nara, Japan, April 21-23, 2005, Proceedings, volume 3461 of LNCS, pages 131-145 Springer-Verlag, 2005


Light and elementary linear logics have been introduced as logical systems enjoying quite remarkable normalization properties. Designing a type assignment system for pure lambda calculus from these logics, however, is problematic. In this paper, we show that shifting from usual call-by-name to call-by-value lambda calculus allows to regain strong connections with the underlying logic. We will do this in the context of Elementary Affine Logic (EAL), designing a type system in natural deduction style assigning EAL formulae to lambda terms.
