Method Detail

isFact

public boolean isFact()

isConstraint

public boolean isConstraint()

setConclusion

public void setConclusion(T conclusion)

addPremise

public void addPremise(T premise)

addPremises

public void addPremises(java.util.Collection<? extends T> premises)

getSignature

public Signature getSignature()

Description copied from interface: Formula

Returns the signature of the language of this formula.

Returns:

the signature of the language of this formula.

getPremise

public java.util.Collection<? extends T> getPremise()

Description copied from interface: Rule

Returns the premise of this rule.

Returns:

the premise of this rule.

getConclusion

public T getConclusion()

Description copied from interface: Rule

Returns the conclusion of this rule.

Returns:

the conclusion of this rule.

isAssumption

public boolean isAssumption()

Specified by:

isAssumption in class AbaRule<T extends Formula>

Returns:

whether this rule is an assumption

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Specified by:

equals in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

getPredicates

public java.util.Set<? extends 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

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

clone

public InferenceRule<T> clone()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Creates a deep copy of this formula

Specified by:

clone in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Specified by:

clone in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

clone in class AbaElement<T extends Formula>

Returns:

the cloned formula

substitute

public AbaElement<T> substitute(Term<?> v,
                                Term<?> t)
                         throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: ComplexLogicalFormula

Substitutes all occurrences of term "v" in this formula by term "t" and returns the new formula.

Specified by:

substitute in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Specified by:

substitute in class AbaElement<T extends Formula>

Parameters:

v - the term to be substituted.

t - the term to substitute.

Returns:

a formula where every occurrence of "v" is replaced by "t".

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if "v" and "t" are of different sorts
