Abstract (EN):
The linear lambda calculus is very weak in terms of expressive power: in particular, all functions terminate in linear time. In this paper we consider a simple extension with Booleans, natural numbers and a linear iterator. We show properties of this linear version of Godels's System T and study the class of functions that can be represented. Surprisingly, this linear calculus is extremely expressive: it is as powerful as System T.
