✦ Synopsis


It is shown how to restrict recursion on notation in all ΓΏnite types so as to characterize the polynomial-time computable functions. The restrictions are obtained by using a ramiΓΏed type structure, and by adding linear concepts to the lambda calculus.

In previous work the author has introduced a lambda calculus SLR with modal and linear types which serves as an extension of Bellantoni-Cook's function algebra BC to higher types. It is a step towards a functional programming language in which all programs run in polynomial time. In this paper we de

## Abstract This paper studies systems of explicit mathematics as introduced by Feferman [9, 11]. In particular, we propose weak explicit type systems with a restricted form of elementary comprehension whose provably terminating operations coincide with the functions on binary words that are comput
