Abstract

The paper extends the standard reduction calculus of the higher-order Type-theory of Acyclic Recursion to η-reduction. This is achieved by adding a restricted η-rule, which is applicable only to terms in canonical forms satisfying certain conditions. Canonical forms of terms determine the iterative algorithms for computing the semantic denotations of the terms. Unnecessary λ-abstractions and corresponding functional applications in canonical forms contribute to algorithmic complexity. The η-rule provides a simple way to reduce complexity by maintenance of essential algorithmic structure of computations.
