    • Method Detail

      • containsQuantifier

        public boolean containsQuantifier()
        Description copied from interface: QuantifiedFormula
        Checks whether this formula contains any quantification.
        Returns:
        "true" if this formula contains a quantification.

      • getTerms

        public java.util.Set<Term<?>> getTerms()
        Returns:
        a set containing all terms of this logical structure

      • getTerms

        public <C extends Term<?>> java.util.Set<C> getTerms​(java.lang.Class<C> cls)
        Description copied from interface: LogicStructure
        Processes the set containing all terms of type C. This method uses the equals method of the given Class and therefore does not add terms which are sub classes of type C to the set.
        Type Parameters:
        C - the type of terms
        Parameters:
        cls - The Class structure containing type information about the searched term
        Returns:
        A set containing all terms of type C of this logical structure

      • getPredicates

        public java.util.Set<Predicate> getPredicates()
        Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula
        Processes the set of all predicates which appear in this formula
        Returns:
        all predicates that appear in this formula

      • isClosed

        public boolean isClosed()
        Description copied from interface: QuantifiedFormula
        Checks whether this formula is closed, i.e. whether every variables occurring in the formula is bound by a quantifier.
        Returns:
        "true" if this formula is closed, "false" otherwise.

      • isClosed

        public boolean isClosed​(java.util.Set<Variable> boundVariables)
        Description copied from interface: QuantifiedFormula
        Checks whether this formula is closed, i.e. whether every variables occurring in the formula is bound by a quantifier. Every variable in "boundVariables" is already assumed to be bound.
        Parameters:
        boundVariables - the variables assumed to be bound.
        Returns:
        "true" if this formula is closed wrt. "boundVariables", "false" otherwise.

      • isWellBound

        public boolean isWellBound()
        Description copied from interface: QuantifiedFormula
        Checks whether this formula is well-bound, i.e. whether no variable bound by a quantifier is again bound by another quantifier within the first quantifier's range.
        Returns:
        "true" if this formula is well-bound, "false" otherwise.

      • isWellBound

        public boolean isWellBound​(java.util.Set<Variable> boundVariables)
        Description copied from interface: QuantifiedFormula
        Checks whether this formula is well-bound, i.e. whether no variable bound by a quantifier is again bound by another quantifier within the first quantifier range. Every variable in "boundVariables" is assumed to be bound already.
        Parameters:
        boundVariables - the variables assumed to be bound.
        Returns:
        "true" if this formula is well-bound, "false" otherwise.

      • isLiteral

        public boolean isLiteral()
        Returns:
        true if the formula represents a literal in the language or false otherwise

      • substitute

        public FolFormula substitute​(Term<?> v,
                             Term<?> t)
        Description copied from class: RelationalFormula
        Substitutes all occurrences of term "v" in this formula by term "t" and returns the new formula. NOTE: if "v" is a variable and bound to a quantifier then "v" is not substituted in that quantifiers inner formula.
        Specified by:
        substitute in interface ComplexLogicalFormula
        Specified by:
        substitute in class FolFormula
        Parameters:
        v - the term to be substituted.
        t - the term to substitute.
        Returns:
        a formula where every occurrence of "v" is replaced by "t".

      • getUnboundVariables

        public java.util.Set<Variable> getUnboundVariables()
        Returns:
        a set of of unbound variables

      • getQuantifiedFormulas

        public java.util.Set<FolFormula> getQuantifiedFormulas()

      • getDisjunctions

        public java.util.Set<Disjunction> getDisjunctions()

      • getConjunctions
