Constructor Details

ExistsQuantifiedFormula

public ExistsQuantifiedFormula(PlFormula f,
 Set<Proposition> variables)

Create a new existential boolean quantification.

Parameters:

f - inner formula

variables - quantifier variables

ExistsQuantifiedFormula

public ExistsQuantifiedFormula(PlFormula f,
 Proposition variable)

Create a new existential boolean quantification.

Parameters:

f - inner formula

variable - quantifier variable

ExistsQuantifiedFormula

public ExistsQuantifiedFormula(ExistsQuantifiedFormula other)

Create a new existential boolean quantification.

Parameters:

other - other existential quantified formula

Method Details

getQuantifierVariables

public Set<Proposition> getQuantifierVariables()

Return the quantifier variables (propositions)

Returns:

the quantifier variables (propositions)

getFormula

public PlFormula getFormula()

Return the quantified formula

Returns:

the quantified formula

getAtoms

public Set<Proposition> getAtoms()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Processes the set of all atoms which appear in this formula

Specified by:

getAtoms in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

getAtoms in class PlFormula

Returns:

The set of all atoms

getLiterals

public Set<PlFormula> getLiterals()

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Returns all literals, i.e. all formulas of the form "a" or "!a" where "a" is a proposition, that appear in this formula.

Specified by:

getLiterals in class PlFormula

Returns:

all literals appearing in this formula.

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.

getPredicates

public Set<PlPredicate> getPredicates()

Description copied from interface: SimpleLogicalFormula

Processes the set of all predicates which appear in this formula

Specified by:

getPredicates in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

getPredicates in class PlFormula

Returns:

all predicates that appear in this formula

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.

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.

toCnf

public Conjunction toCnf()

In this case, this method returns this quantified boolean formula's cnf kernel.

Specified by:

toCnf in class PlFormula

Returns:

the formula in CNF.

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.

numberOfOccurrences

public int numberOfOccurrences(Proposition p)

Description copied from class: PlFormula

Returns the number of occurrences of the given proposition within this formula

Specified by:

numberOfOccurrences in class PlFormula

Parameters:

p - some proposition

Returns:

the number of occurrences of the given proposition within this formula

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.

Specified by:

equals in class PlFormula

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in interface SimpleLogicalFormula

Specified by:

hashCode in class PlFormula

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getSignature

public PlSignature getSignature()
