A modification of the λ-calculus as a base for functional programming languages

Abstract

Church's λ-calculus is modified by introducing a new mechanism, the lambda-bar operator “#”, which neutralizes the effect of one preceeding λ-binding. This operator can be used in such a way that renaming of bound variables in any reduction sequence can be avoided, with the effect that efficient interpreters with comparatively simple machine organization can be designed.
