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
