15-816 Linear Logic
Lecture 12: Resource Management
Search in linear logic is severely complicated by the fact
that we have to distribute linear hypotheses between premises
in some of the rules. Guessing such a split is infeasible
so other methods have to be devised. A simple and general method
is to use boolean constraints to encode the relationships between
linear hypotheses. This technique which is due to Harland
and Pym [HP01], works for a variety of substructural logics.
Other, more specific forms of resource management
can be devised to work with specific search strategies.
