Exploring the intricate dynamics of sharing graphs, this book delves into their mathematical properties and applications. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how information and resources are distributed among interconnected entities. The authors present various models that illustrate the behavior of sharing graphs in different scenarios, making it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in fields such as computer science, social networks, and information theory. Theoretical insights are complemented by practical examples, enhancing the reader's grasp of the subject.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, TLCA 2013, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in June 2013 as part of RDP 2013, the 7th Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, together with the 24th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA 2013, and several related events. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers provide prevailing research results on all current aspects of typed lambda calculi, ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to applications in various contexts addressing a wide variety of topics such as proof-theory, semantics, implementation, types, and programming.

Models of Sharing Graphs presents a sound mathematical basis for reasoning about models of computation involving shared resources, including graph rewriting systems, denotational semantics and concurrency theory. An algebraic approach, based on the language of category theory, is taken throughout this work, which enables the author to describe several aspects of the notion of sharing in a systematic way. In particular, a novel account of recursive computation created from cyclic sharing is developed using this framework.
