An abstract framework for environment machines (Q804281): Difference between revisions

This paper developes a calculus of classes, i.e. a formalism to handle \(\lambda\)-terms with substitutions. It is shown that machines with environment (Krivine's machine and the CAM) essentially corresponds to different strategies for normalizing closures (call by name, call by value). Simple typed closures are also considered and a categorical point of view is sketched.
