Decidability of Higher-Order Subtyping with Intersection Types

The combination of higher-order subtyping with intersection types yields a typed model of object-oriented programming with multiple inheritance [11]. The target calculus, F ⋀ ω , a natural generalization of Girard's system Fω with intersection types and bounded polymorphism, is of independent interest, and is our subject of study.
