Possibility

public Possibility(RelationalFormula formula)

Creates a new possibility formula with the given inner formula.

Parameters:

formula - a formula, either a modal formula or a first-order formula.

Method Details

substitute

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

Description copied from class: RelationalFormula

Substitutes all occurrences of term "v" in this formula by term "t" and returns the new formula. NOTE: if "v" is a variable and bound to a quantifier then "v" is not substituted in that quantifiers inner formula.

Specified by:

substitute in interface ComplexLogicalFormula

Specified by:

substitute in class FolFormula

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 (NOTE: this exception is only thrown when "v" actually appears in this formula).

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class RelationalFormula

clone

public FolFormula 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 FolFormula

Returns:

the cloned formula

toNnf

public FolFormula toNnf()

Description copied from class: FolFormula

Makes the negation normal form of this formula.

Specified by:

toNnf in class FolFormula

Returns:

the NNF of this formula

collapseAssociativeFormulas

public RelationalFormula collapseAssociativeFormulas()

Description copied from class: FolFormula

This method collapses all associative operations appearing in this term, e.g. every a||(b||c) becomes a||b||c.

Specified by:

collapseAssociativeFormulas in class FolFormula

Returns:

the collapsed formula.

isDnf

public boolean isDnf()

Description copied from class: FolFormula

Checks whether this formula is in disjunctive normal form.

Specified by:

isDnf in class FolFormula

Returns:

"true" iff this formula is in disjunctive normal form.
