Abstract

&lgr;v is an extension of the &lgr;-calculus with a binding construct for local names. The extension has properties analogous to classical &lgr;-calculus and preserves all observational equivalences of &lgr;. It is useful as a basis for modeling wide-spectrum languages that build on a functional core.
