Class ConflictFreeMaximizer

org.tweetyproject.arg.adf.reasoner.sat.processor.ConflictFreeMaximizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable, InterpretationProcessor

public abstract class ConflictFreeMaximizer
extends Object
implements InterpretationProcessor

The ConflictFreeMaximizer is an abstract class responsible for maximizing conflict-free interpretations in an abstract dialectical framework (ADF). It processes interpretations and ensures that they are conflict-free by utilizing SAT solver states and encoding mechanisms. The maximizer has two main modes: restricted and unrestricted, determined by the concrete subclasses.

Method Details

restricted

public static InterpretationProcessor restricted(Supplier<SatSolverState> stateSupplier,
 AbstractDialecticalFramework adf,
 PropositionalMapping mapping,
 Interpretation prefix)

Creates and returns a restricted InterpretationProcessor that maximizes interpretations based on a given partial interpretation (prefix). This processor restricts conflict-free maximization to interpretations that are consistent with the given partial interpretation.

Parameters:

stateSupplier - a supplier that provides new instances of SatSolverState

adf - the abstract dialectical framework to be processed

mapping - the propositional mapping used for encoding

prefix - the partial interpretation to restrict the maximization

Returns:

an InterpretationProcessor for restricted conflict-free maximization

unrestricted

public static InterpretationProcessor unrestricted(Supplier<SatSolverState> stateSupplier,
 AbstractDialecticalFramework adf,
 PropositionalMapping mapping)

Creates and returns an unrestricted InterpretationProcessor that maximizes interpretations without any restrictions on the partial interpretation.

Parameters:

stateSupplier - a supplier that provides new instances of SatSolverState

adf - the abstract dialectical framework to be processed

mapping - the propositional mapping used for encoding

Returns:

an InterpretationProcessor for unrestricted conflict-free maximization

process

public Interpretation process(Interpretation interpretation)

Processes the given interpretation by maximizing it into a conflict-free interpretation. This method uses a SAT solver to find the largest conflict-free interpretation that satisfies the given propositional mapping.

Specified by:

process in interface InterpretationProcessor

Parameters:

interpretation - the interpretation to be maximized

Returns:

the maximized conflict-free interpretation

updateState

public void updateState(SatSolverState state,
 Interpretation maximal)

Updates the SAT solver state to prevent smaller interpretations from being computed in the future. This method is called after a maximal conflict-free interpretation is found, to ensure that smaller interpretations are not revisited.

Specified by:

updateState in interface InterpretationProcessor

Parameters:

state - the SAT solver state to be updated

maximal - the maximal interpretation that has been found

close

public void close()

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface InterpretationProcessor
