Using Soft Linear Logic (SLL) as case study, we analyze a method for transforming a light logic into a type assignment system for the λ-calculus, inheriting the complexity properties of the logics. Namely the typing assures the strong normalization in a number of steps polynomial in the size of the term, and moreover all polynomial functions can be computed by λ-terms that can be typed in the system. The proposed method is general enough to be used also for other light logics.

An Implicit Characterization of PSPACE
TLDR
A type system for an extension of lambda calculus with a conditional construction, named STAB, that characterizes the PSPACE class, the first characterization of PSPACE that is based on lambda calculus and light logics.
Complexité Implicite de Lambda-Calculs Concurrents
Controlling the resource consumption of programs is crucial: besides performance reasons, it has many applications in the field of computer security where e.g. mobile or embedded systems dispose of…

TLDR
LAM is presented as the type assignment system for a calculus endowed with copy constructors, which deal with substitution in a linear fashion, and a mildly weakened version of cut-elimination for this system is proven which takes a cubic number of steps.
Probabilistic Soft Type Assignment
TLDR
PSTA, a probabilistic version of STA, the type-theoretical counterpart of Soft Linear Logic, is introduced, a type assignment for an extension of Simpson's Linear Lambda Calculus and its surface reduction, where Linear additives express random choice.

A Soft Type Assignment System for lambda -Calculus
TLDR
A type assignment system for the λ-calculus (STA) is designed, which assigns toλ-terms as types (a proper subset of) SLL formulas, in such a way that typable terms inherit the good complexity properties of the logical system.

TLDR
It is established that as LAL, DIAL allows to represent all polytime functions and ensures good properties on lambda-terms: subject reduction is satisfied and a well-typed term admits a polynomial bound on the reduction by any strategy.

Soft lambda-Calculus: A Language for Polynomial Time Computation
TLDR
This work introduces Soft lambda-calculus as a calculus typable in the intuitionistic and affine variant of this logic and proves that the (untyped) terms of this calculus are reducible in polynomial time.
Type Inference for a Polynomial Lambda Calculus
TLDR
An algorithm which, given in input a *** -term, provides all the constraints that need to be satisfied in order to type it, conjecture that, for the whole system, the type inference is undecidable, but the algorithm can be used for checking the typability of some particular terms.
Elementary Affine Logic and the Call-by-Value Lambda Calculus
TLDR
This paper shows that shifting from usual call-by-name to call- by-value lambda calculus allows regaining strong connections with the underlying logic.
A logical account of pspace
TLDR
This work proposes a characterization of PSPACE by means of atype assignment for an extension of lambda calculus with a conditional construction and introduces a call-by-name evaluation machine in order to compute programs in polynomial space.

TLDR
This paper introduces an untyped term calculus, called the light affine lambda calculus, which is a simple modification of the /spl lambda/-calculus, and has ILAL as a type assignment system, and proves the polytime "strong" normalization theorem.
Lambda Calculus and Intuitionistic Linear Logic
TLDR
A typed functional language Λ! and a categorical model for it and a type assignment for it, using formulas of Linear Logic as types, unlike all other extensions of Curry-Howard Isomorphism to Intuitionistic Linear Logic.
