[TYPES] A question about unification terminology
[ The Types Forum, http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-list ] Dear Typers, the problem of finding a substitution σ such that tσ=sσ is called unification; the problem of finding a substitution σ such that tσ=s is called semi-unification; but how is it called the problem of finding a substitution σ such that tσ≤sσ where ≤ denotes a generic subtyping relation? I found in the literature the generic name of "subtype constraint resolution" (e.g., Pottier) but I was wondering whether there exists a more specific name. Thanks in advance for your answers and pointers to related work. Beppe
