public class NLPProgram
extends RuleSet<NLPRule>
implements LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Represents a nested logic program (NLP) in the form of a set of rules.

The `NLPProgram` class extends `RuleSet` with rules of type `NLPRule` and implements the `LogicProgram` interface for first-order logic (FOL) formulas. It provides methods to manage facts, retrieve the minimal signature, and perform substitutions and exchanges on terms within the program.

public NLPProgram()

Method Details

getFacts

public Set<FolFormula> getFacts()

Retrieves a set of facts from the nested logic program.

This method iterates through all the rules in the program and collects those that are identified as facts. A fact is a rule with an empty premise, and its conclusion is considered a fact in first-order logic.

Returns:

a `Set` of `FolFormula` objects representing the facts in the program.

addFact

public void addFact(FolFormula fact)

Adds a fact to the nested logic program.

This method creates a new `NLPRule` with the given fact.

Specified by:

addFact in interface LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Parameters:

fact - a `FolFormula` representing the fact to be added to the program.

addFacts

public void addFacts(FolFormula... facts)

Adds multiple facts to the nested logic program.

This method accepts multiple facts as an array of `FolFormula` objects and adds each one to the program by calling the `addFact` method for each fact.

Specified by:

addFacts in interface LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Parameters:

facts - an array of `FolFormula` objects representing the facts to be added.

getMinimalSignature

public FolSignature getMinimalSignature()

Retrieves the minimal signature of the nested logic program.

Specified by:

getMinimalSignature in interface BeliefBase

Specified by:

getMinimalSignature in interface LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Returns:

a `FolSignature` object representing the minimal signature of the program.

substitute

public NLPProgram substitute(Term<?> t,
 Term<?> v)

Substitutes a term in all rules of the nested logic program.

This method creates a new `NLPProgram` in which all occurrences of a specific term (`t`) in the program are replaced with another term (`v`). Each rule in the program is processed, and a substituted version of the rule is added to the new program.

Specified by:

substitute in interface LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Parameters:

t - the term to be replaced.

v - the term to replace with.

Returns:

a new `NLPProgram` with the substitution applied.

substitute

public NLPProgram substitute(Map<? extends Term<?>,? extends Term<?>> map)
                      throws IllegalArgumentException

Substitutes multiple terms in all rules of the nested logic program according to the provided map.

Specified by:

substitute in interface LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Parameters:

map - a map where the keys are the terms to be replaced and the values are the replacement terms.

Returns:

a new `NLPProgram` with the substitutions applied.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid substitution is encountered.

exchange

public NLPProgram exchange(Term<?> v,
 Term<?> t)
                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Exchanges two terms in all rules of the nested logic program.

This method creates a new `NLPProgram` in which two terms (`v` and `t`) are exchanged in all rules of the program.

Specified by:

exchange in interface LogicProgram<FolFormula,FolFormula,NLPRule>

Parameters:

v - the first term involved in the exchange.

t - the second term involved in the exchange.

Returns:

a new `NLPProgram` with the terms exchanged.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid exchange is attempted.
