Class StrongEquivalence

java.lang.Object
org.tweetyproject.arg.dung.equivalence.StrongEquivalence
All Implemented Interfaces:
Equivalence<DungTheory>
Direct Known Subclasses:
NormalExpansionEquivalence
public class StrongEquivalence extends Object implements Equivalence<DungTheory>
This class defines strong equivalence for argumentation frameworks wrt. some semantics, i.e., two AFs F andG are strongly equivalent iff they possess the same set of extensions wrt. the semantics when conjoined with some arbitrary AF H. Can be characterized by a syntactic kernel.

      isEquivalent in interface Equivalence<DungTheory>
      Parameters:
      objects - A collection of objects of type Equivalence
      Returns:
      true, iff all objects are equivalent wrt. this equivalence notion
