    Abstract

    Soft Linear Logic (SLL) is a subsystem of second-order linear logic with restricted rules for exponentials, which is correct and complete for PTIME. We design a type assignment system for the ?-calculus (STA), which assigns to ?-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. Namely STA enjoys subject reduction and normalization, and it is correct and complete for PTIME and PTIME.
