Title: A Type and Effect System for Cost Equation Synthesis
Abstract: We present a static program analysis based on an annotated type system for synthesising size and cost recurrences for a minimal functional notation (simply-typed lambda-calculus with naturals, lists and recursive definitions). The cost recurrences express upper-bound aproximations on the number of beta-reductions in a call-by-value operational semantics. This work is being developed is part of the research in ``Hume'', a functionally-inspired programming language for resource-bounded systems (http://www.hume-lang.org).
