Abstract
AbstractCoercive subtyping is a theory of abbreviation for dependent type theories. In this paper, we incorporate the idea of coercive subtyping into the traditional Hindley-Milner type systems in functional programming languages. This results in a typing system with coercions, an extension of the Hindley-Milner type system. A type inference algorithm is developed and shown to be sound and complete with respect to the typing system. A notion of derivational coherence is developed to deal with the problem of ambiguity and the corresponding type inference algorithm is shown to be sound and complete.KeywordsType TheorySide ConditionTyping RuleBase LanguageTyping JudgmentThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
