Abstract

In this chapter we propose an alternative encoding which is an optimised version of the previous one. The main idea is to reuse the same channel in the continuation of the encoding. But then, since channel variables have linear types, doing so would violate linearity. In order to overcome this problem, we modify the typing rules for both the output and the selection processes.
