  • Constructor Details

    • BArgument

      public BArgument(String name)
      Constructs a new bipolar argument with the specified name.
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the argument

    • BArgument

      public BArgument(Argument arg)
      Constructs a new bipolar argument from an existing argument.
      Parameters:
      arg - the argument to be converted

  • Method Details

    • contains

      public boolean contains(Object arg0)
      Checks if this argument is equal to the specified object.

      This method checks for equality based on the argument's name.

      Specified by:
      contains in interface BipolarEntity
      Parameters:
      arg0 - the object to be compared
      Returns:
      true if this argument is equal to the specified object; false otherwise

    • iterator

      public Iterator<BArgument> iterator()
      Returns an iterator over the arguments in this set.

      This method is not implemented for the current class and returns null. In a complete implementation, it would provide an iterator over a collection of arguments.

      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Iterable<BArgument>
      Returns:
      an iterator over the arguments

    • isSupportedBy

      public boolean isSupportedBy(EAFTheory theory, BipolarEntity x)
      Checks if this argument is supported by another argument in the given theory.

      This method determines if there exists a support relation in the given EAFTheory where this argument is supported by the specified argument.

      Parameters:
      theory - the theory in which to check for support
      x - the argument that might support this argument
      Returns:
      true if this argument is supported by the specified argument in the theory; false otherwise
