Abstract
This paper describes a framework for flow analysis of programs with higher-order functions with normal-order reduction. The framework is based on an abstract machine derived from the Geometry of Interaction semantics for reduction in linear logic proof nets. By standard methods from abstract interpretation the transition system defined by the machine induces a set of equations defining the flow between the program points. This set of equations defines a collecting semantics for the program and is amenable to further analysis by abstraction-based approximation. As examples of its application we show how to obtain information about strictness, control-flow and usage of data.
