Abstract: We investigate the computational efficiency of the sharing
graphs of Lamping [Lam90], Gonthier, Abadi, and L'evy
[GAL92], and Asperti [Asp94], designed to effect so-called
optimal evaluation, with the goal of reconciling optimality,
efficiency, and the clarification of reasonable cost models
for the -calculus. Do these graphs suggest reasonable
cost models for the -calculus? If they are optimal, are
they efficient?
We present a brief survey of these optimal evaluators,
identifying their common ... (Update)
