an algebraic data type whose constructors may return refined instances of the type, letting pattern matching reveal type equalities.

In programming languages, generalized algebraic data type refers to an algebraic data type whose constructors may return refined instances of the type, letting pattern matching reveal type equalities. This meaning comes from Xi (2003) in Proceedings of the 30th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages.[1]
