Abstract

We introduce a type assignment system which is parametric with respect to five families of trees obtained by evaluating λ-terms (Böhm trees, Lévy-Longo trees, etc.). Then we prove, in an (almost) uniform way, that each type assignment system fully describes the observational equivalences induced by the corresponding tree representation of λ-terms. More precisely, for each family of trees, two λ-terms have the same tree if and only if they get assigned the same types in the corresponding type assignment system.

Author Keywords: Böhm trees; Approximants; Intersection types
