Subject: definition recursive de valeur
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 1996 15:16:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <v01530503ad5226209225@[129.88.38.40]> (raw)



Définissons les deux valeurs infinies suivantes :
let rec x = 1::x;;
let rec y = 1::y;;
x = y;;
Demandons à vérifier leur égalités : camllight essaie de comparer x et y
par une méthode qui ne se termine pas.
Pour les arbres infinis rationnels (cf Prolog) l'égalité est décidable : ne
serait-il pas possible soit de refuser de comparer x et y, soit d'utiliser
l'algorithme testant l'égalité de ce type d'arbre.

Let us define the following infinite values :
let rec x = 1::x ;;
let rec y = 1::y;;
x = y;;
The evaluation of the last expression doesn't terminate.
We could consider that the equations above have solutions wich are infinite
rational trees and there exists a algorithm to test the equality of such
trees, could it be possible either to use such an algorithm, either to
refuse to test the equality.
