Constructor Details

StrictInferenceRule

public StrictInferenceRule()

Constructs an empty instance

StrictInferenceRule

public StrictInferenceRule(T conclusion,
 Collection<T> premise)

Constructs a strict inference rule p -> c

Parameters:

conclusion - ^= p

premise - ^= c

Method Details

isDefeasible

public boolean isDefeasible()

Specified by:

isDefeasible in class InferenceRule<T extends Invertable>

Returns:

true iff this rule is defeasible

clone

public StrictInferenceRule<T> clone()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Creates a deep copy of this formula

Specified by:

clone in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Specified by:

clone in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

clone in class InferenceRule<T extends Invertable>

Returns:

the cloned formula

substitute

public StrictInferenceRule<T> substitute(Term<?> v,
 Term<?> t)
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: ComplexLogicalFormula

Substitutes all occurrences of term "v" in this formula by term "t" and returns the new formula.

Specified by:

substitute in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Specified by:

substitute in class InferenceRule<T extends Invertable>

Parameters:

v - the term to be substituted.

t - the term to substitute.

Returns:

a formula where every occurrence of "v" is replaced by "t".

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if "v" and "t" are of different sorts
