```
public RuleSet()
```
    Creates a new empty rule set.
  - RuleSet
```
public RuleSet(java.util.Collection<? extends T> rules)
```
    Creates a new rule set with the given rules
    
    Parameters:
    
    rules - a collection of rules.
- Method Detail
  - getRulesWithConclusion
```
public java.util.Set<T> getRulesWithConclusion(Formula f)
```
    Returns all rules this set with the given conclusion
    
    Parameters:
    
    f - a formula
    
    Returns:
    
    all rules this set with the given conclusion
  - getConclusions
```
public java.util.Set<Formula> getConclusions()
```
    Returns all conclusions of all rules of this rule set.
    
    Returns:
    
    all conclusions of all rules of this rule set.
  - getPremises
```
public java.util.Set<Formula> getPremises()
```
    Returns all premises appearing in this rule set.
    
    Returns:
    
    all premises appearing in this rule set.
  - getSyntacticModule
```
public RuleSet<T> getSyntacticModule(Formula f)
```
    Returns the maximal subset of this rule set that is closed under "syntactic" neighbourhood relationship for the given formula. A formula/rule has a "syntactic" neighbourhood relationship with a rule iff they share vocabulary elements.
    
    Parameters:
    
    f - some formula
    
    Returns:
    
    a rule set.
