The probability of non-confluent systems

Alejandro Díaz-Caro
Gilles Dowek

We show how to provide a structure of probability space to the set of execution traces on a non-confluent abstract rewrite system, by defining a variant of a Lebesgue measure on the space of traces. Then, we show how to use this probability space to transform a non-deterministic calculus into a probabilistic one. We use as example Lambda+, a recently introduced calculus defined through type isomorphisms.
