Lecture 18: Unification

The description of the unification logic in the logical framework is immediately executable as an algorithm for unification. This is because unification is directly available as part of the operational semantics of Elf. In this lecture we describe more a more explicit algorithm for unification.

We also talk in detail about the way that the correctness proof for constraint-based type inference is implemented in Elf. This shows a number of new techniques in dealing with parametric and hypothetical judgments.
