Behavioural inverse limit lambda-models

Theoret. Comput. Sci., 316(1-3):49-74, 2004


We construct two inverse limit lambda-models which completely characterise sets of terms with similar computational behaviours: the sets of normalising, head normalising, weak head normalising lambda-terms, those corresponding to the persistent versions of these notions, and the sets of closable, closable normalising, and closable head normalising lambda-terms. More precisely, for each of these sets of terms there is a corresponding element in at least one of the two models such that a term belongs to the set if and only if its interpretation (in a suitable environment) is greater than or equal to that element. We use the finitary logical description of the models, obtained by defining suitable intersection type assignment systems, to prove this.
