Abstract

We analyze the interpretation of inductive and coinductive types as sets of strongly normalizing terms and isolate classes of types with certain continuity properties. Our result enables us to relax some side conditions on the shape of recursive definitions which are accepted by the type-based termination calculus of Barthe, Frade, Giménez, Pinto and Uustalu, thus enlarging its expressivity.
