Abstract

With the recent trend of analysing the process of computation through the linear logic looking glass, it is well understood that the ability to copy and erase data is essential in order to obtain a Turingcomplete computation model. However, erasing and copying don't need to be explicitly included in Turing-complete computation models: in this paper we show that the class of partial recursive functions that are syntactically linear (that is, partial recursive functions where no argument is erased or copied) is Turing-complete
