Everything about Intersection type discipline

Branch of type theory

In mathematical logic, the intersection type discipline is a branch of type theory encompassing type systems that use the intersection type constructor to assign multiple types to a single term. In particular, if a term can be assigned both the type and the type, then can be assigned the intersection type . Therefore, the intersection type constructor can be used to express finite heterogeneous ad hoc polymorphism . For example, the λ-term can be assigned the type in most intersection type systems, assuming for the term variable both the function type and the corresponding argument type. Wikipedia →
