Abstract

The concept of strictness in the simply-typed lambda-calculus is closely connected to implication in relevant logic. This connection is inspected and formalised via the Curry-Howard isomorphism. The result is a language of types containing strictness information, and a corresponding type assignment system. Thus, information about the reduction behaviour of a lambda-expression can be deduced at the same time that its type is being inferred.
