Constructor Details

Disjunction

public Disjunction(Collection<? extends PlFormula> formulas)

Creates a new disjunction with the given inner formulas.

Parameters:

formulas - a collection of formulas.

Disjunction

public Disjunction(PlFormula... formulas)

constructor

Parameters:

formulas - formulas

Disjunction

public Disjunction()

Creates a new (empty) disjunction.

Disjunction

public Disjunction(PlFormula first,
 PlFormula second)

Creates a new disjunction with the two given formulae

Parameters:

first - a propositional formula.

second - a propositional formula.

Method Details

collapseAssociativeFormulas

public PlFormula collapseAssociativeFormulas()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

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 PlFormula

Returns:

the collapsed formula.

toNnf

public PlFormula toNnf()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

This method returns this formula in negation normal form (NNF). A formula is in NNF iff negations occur only directly in front of a proposition.

Specified by:

toNnf in class PlFormula

Returns:

the formula in NNF.

clone

public PlFormula clone()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Creates a deep copy of this formula

Specified by:

clone in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

clone in class PlFormula

Returns:

the cloned formula

createEmptyFormula

public Disjunction createEmptyFormula()

Returns:

an empty version of the AssociativeFormula

getOperatorSymbol

public String getOperatorSymbol()

Returns:

A String representing the operator which connects two items of the associative formula.

getEmptySymbol

public String getEmptySymbol()

Returns:

A String representing an empty version of the Associative Formula implementation

toCnf

public Conjunction toCnf()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

This method returns this formula in conjunctive normal form (CNF). A formula is in CNF iff it is a conjunction of disjunctions and in NNF. The CNF generated by this method is not necessarily minimal.

Specified by:

toCnf in class PlFormula

Returns:

the formula in CNF.

trim

public PlFormula trim()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Removes duplicates (identical formulas) from conjunctions and disjunctions and removes duplicate negations. Simplifies equivalences and implications with equivalent formulas (A=>A, A<=>A) to tautologies.

Specified by:

trim in class PlFormula

Returns:

an equivalent formula without duplicates.

getModels

public Set<PossibleWorld> getModels(PlSignature sig)

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Returns the set of models of this formula wrt. the given signature.

Specified by:

getModels in class PlFormula

Parameters:

sig - some propositional signature

Returns:

the set of models of this formula wrt. the given signature.

isClause

public boolean isClause()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Checks whether this formula is a clause, i.e. whether it is a disjunction of literals.

Overrides:

isClause in class PlFormula

Returns:

"true" iff this formula is a clause.

replace

public PlFormula replace(Proposition p,
 PlFormula f,
 int i)

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Replaces the ith instance of the proposition p by f.

Specified by:

replace in class PlFormula

Parameters:

p - some proposition

f - some formula

i - the index of the proposition

Returns:

a new formula with the ith instance of the proposition p replaced by f.
