theory
In
lambda-calculus
and
reduction
, the renaming of
a
formal parameter
in a
lambda abstraction
. This does not
change the meaning of the abstraction. For example:
x . x+1
--
y . y+1
If the
actual argument
to a lambda abstraction contains
instances of the abstraction's formal parameter then it is
necessary to rename the parameter before applying the
abstraction to avoid
name capture
.
