We define a denotational semantics for Light Affine Logic (LAL) which has the property that denotations of functions are polynomial time computable by construction of the model. This gives a new proof of polytime-soundness of LAL which is considerably simpler than the standard proof based on proof nets and also is entirely semantical in nature. The model construction uses a new instance of a resource monoid; a general method for interpreting variations of linear logic with complexity restrictions introduced earlier by the authors.

Abstract
We define a denotational semantics for Light Affine Logic (LAL) which has the property that denotations of functions are polynomial time computable by construction of the model. This gives a new proof of polytime-soundness of LAL which is considerably simpler than the standard proof based on proof nets and also is entirely semantical in nature. The model construction uses a new instance of a resource monoid; a general method for interpreting variations of linear logic with complexity restrictions introduced earlier by the authors.File in questo prodotto:
