This volume gives an overview of linear logic in five parts: category theory; complexity and expressivity; proof theory; proof nets; and the geometry of interaction. The book includes a general introduction to linear logic that will ensure this book's use by the novice as well as the expert. Mathematicians and computer scientists will learn much from this book.

Linear logic is a branch of proof theory which provides refined tools for the study of the computational aspects of proofs. These tools include a duality-based categorical semantics, an intrinsic graphical representation of proofs, the introduction of well-behaved non-commutative logical connectives, and the concepts of polarity and focalisation. These various aspects are illustrated here through introductory tutorials as well as more specialised contributions, with a particular emphasis on applications to computer science: denotational semantics, lambda-calculus, logic programming and...

This text constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, TLCA'99, held in L'Aquila, Italy in April 1999. The 25 revised full papers presented were reviewed and selected from a total of 50 submissions. Also included are two invited demonstrations. The volume reports research results on various aspects of typed lambda calculi. Among the topics addressed are noncommutative logics, type theory, algebraic data types, logical calculi, abstract data types, and subtyping.
