  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Postulate<PlFormula>

    public class ImConsistency
    extends ImPostulate
    The "consistency" postulate for inconsistency measures: Consistent knowledge bases receive the minimal inconsistency value (0) and all inconsistent knowledge bases have strictly positive inconsistency values.

    • Method Detail

      • getName

        public java.lang.String getName()
        Description copied from interface: Postulate
        The textual name of the postulate
        Returns:
        a string
      • isApplicable

        public boolean isApplicable​(java.util.Collection<PlFormula> kb)
        Description copied from interface: Postulate
        Checks whether the given kb represents a non-trivial instance for this postulate, i.e., whether assumptions of this postulates are satisfied (evaluating an approach on a non-applicable instance always succeeds).
        Specified by:
        isApplicable in interface Postulate<PlFormula>
        Specified by:
        isApplicable in class ImPostulate
        Parameters:
        kb - some knowledge base
        Returns:
        true if the knowledge base is a non trivial instance of this postulate.
