摘要:We introduce a new approach to implicit complexity in linear logic, inspired by functional database query languages and using recent developments in effective denotational semantics of polymorphism. We give the first sub-polynomial upper bound in a type system with impredicative polymorphism; adding restrictions on quantifiers yields a characterization of logarithmic space, for which extensional completeness is established via descriptive complexity.
