Constructor Detail

Equivalence

public Equivalence(PlFormula a,
                   PlFormula b)

Creates a new equivalence with the given two formulas

Parameters:

a - a propositional formula

b - a propositional formula

Equivalence

public Equivalence(Pair<PlFormula,PlFormula> formulas)

Creates a new equivalence with the given pair of formulas

Parameters:

formulas - a pair of formulas

Method Detail

getFormulas

public Pair<PlFormula,PlFormula> getFormulas()

Returns the formulas of the equivalence.

Returns:

the formulas that are part of the equivalence

setFormulas

public void setFormulas(Pair<PlFormula,PlFormula> formulas)

Sets the formulas of the equivalence.

Parameters:

formulas - the formulas

setFormulas

public void setFormulas(PlFormula formula1,
                        PlFormula formula2)

Sets the formulas of the equivalence.

Parameters:

formula1 -

formula2 -

getAtoms

public java.util.Set<Proposition> getAtoms()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Processes the set of all atoms which appear in this formula

Specified by:

getAtoms in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

getAtoms in class PlFormula

Returns:

The set of all atoms

getLiterals

public java.util.Set<PlFormula> getLiterals()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Returns all literals, i.e. all formulas of the form "a" or "!a" where "a" is a proposition, that appear in this formula.

Specified by:

getLiterals in class PlFormula

Returns:

all literals appearing in this formula.

collapseAssociativeFormulas

public PlFormula collapseAssociativeFormulas()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

This method collapses all associative operations appearing in this term, e.g. every a||(b||c) becomes a||b||c.

Specified by:

collapseAssociativeFormulas in class PlFormula

Returns:

the collapsed formula.

getPredicates

public java.util.Set<PlPredicate> getPredicates()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Processes the set of all predicates which appear in this formula

Specified by:

getPredicates in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

getPredicates in class PlFormula

Returns:

all predicates that appear in this formula

trim

public PlFormula trim()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Removes duplicates (identical formulas) from conjunctions and disjunctions and removes duplicate negations. Simplifies equivalences and implications with equivalent formulas (A=>A, A<=>A) to tautologies.

Specified by:

trim in class PlFormula

Returns:

an equivalent formula without duplicates.

toNnf
