      • isApplicable

        public boolean isApplicable​(java.util.Collection<Argument> kb)
        Description copied from interface: Postulate
        Checks whether the given kb represents a non-trivial instance for this postulate, i.e., whether assumptions of this postulates are satisfied (evaluating an approach on a non-applicable instance always succeeds).
        Specified by:
        isApplicable in interface Postulate<Argument>
        Specified by:
        isApplicable in class RankingPostulate
        Parameters:

        Returns:
        true if the knowledge base is a non trivial instance of this postulate.
