In this paper we provide a fine-grained, System F -like type system for the linear-algebraic �-calculus (Lineal). We show that this scalar type system enjoys both the subject-reduction property and the strong-normalisation property, which constitute our main technical results. The latter yields a significant simplification of the linear-algebraic �-calculus itself, by removing the need for some restrictions in its reduction rules - and thus leaving it more intuitive. But the more important, original feature of this scalar type system is that it keeps track of 'the amount of a type' that this present in each term. As an example, we show how to use this type system in order to guarantee the well-definiteness of probabilistic functions ( Pi = 1) - thereby specializing Lineal into a probabilistic, higher-order �-calculus. Finally we begin to investigate the logic induced by the scalar type system, and prove a no-cloning theorem expressed solely in terms of the possible proof methods in this logic. We discuss the potential connections with Linear Logic and Quantum Computation.","PeriodicalId":49904,"journal":{"name":"Logical Methods in Computer Science","volume":"8 1","pages":"11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2009-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67823740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present two new algorithms computing the values of simple stochastic games. Both of them rely on the existence of optimal permutation strategies, a class of positional strategies derived from permutations of the random vertices. The \"permutation-enumeration\" algorithm performs an exhaustive search among these strategies, while the \"permutation-improvement'' algorithm is based on successive improvements, a la Hoffman-Karp. Our algorithms improve previously known algorithms in several aspects. First they run in polynomial time when the number of random vertices is fixed, so the problem of solving simple stochastic games is fixed-parameter tractable when the parameter is the number of random vertices. Furthermore, our algorithms do not require the input game to be transformed into a stopping game. Finally, the permutation-enumeration algorithm does not use linear programming, while the permutation-improvement algorithm may run in polynomial time.","PeriodicalId":49904,"journal":{"name":"Logical Methods in Computer Science","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2007-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80214591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
