lifted domain
lifted domain
(theory)In functional languages, a lifted domain can be used tomodel a constructed type, e.g. the type
data LiftedInt = K Int
contains the values K minint .. K maxint and K bottom,corresponding to the values in Int, and a new value bottom.This denotes the fact that when computing a value v = (K n)the computation of either n or v may fail to terminateyielding the values (K bottom) or bottom respectively.
(In LaTeX, a lifted domain or element is indicated by asubscript \\perp).
