Constructor Detail

ModusPonens

public ModusPonens(Argument[] arguments)
            throws ArgumentException

Constructs a modus ponens rule.

Parameters:

arguments - two line numbers to operate on first argument could reference any formula second argument must reference an implication that has the first referenced formula as the first argument

Throws:

ArgumentException - if there are not exactly two arguments that are instances of Counter or these arguments are not bigger than zero

Method Detail

static void ()

Initialize version information.

check

public final void check(Module module,
                        ProofLineList proofLines,
                        int position,
                        Formula formula)
                 throws ArgumentException

Check if proof could be extended with formula because of modus ponens.

Specified by:

check in interface Rule

Parameters:

module - module

proofLines - proof lines

position - number of proof lines that could be used in the rule

formula - formula to add

Throws:

ArgumentException - if addition is not possible because the proof line numbers are not allowed (e.g. between 1 and the minimum of position and current maximum proof line number) or the second proof line is no Implication or the first part formula of the second proof line is not equal to the first proof line or the second part formula of the second proof line is not equal to formula or a version conflict occurs

extendWithout

public ProofLineList extendWithout(Module module,
                                   ProofLineList proofLines,
                                   int position)
                            throws UnsupportedOperationException

Description copied from interface: Rule

Return proof lines that could replace the proof line position.

Specified by:

extendWithout in interface Rule

Following copied from interface: com.meyling.principia.logic.rule.Rule

Parameters:

module - the belonging module

proofLines - proof lines

position - referenced proof line (starting with 0) in proofLines

Returns:

proof lines that could substitute the single proof line position

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if extension is impossible or other problems occured if the module was checked before, this exception could only occur if there is an programming error

UnsupportedOperationException - if this rule couldn't be reduced at all because it is a basic rule

getProofLines

public int[] getProofLines()

Description copied from interface: Rule

Get proof line numbers that are used to derive the new formula.

Specified by:

getProofLines in interface Rule

Following copied from interface: com.meyling.principia.logic.rule.Rule

Returns:

numbers of involved proof lines

changeProofLines

public Rule changeProofLines(int[] mapping)

Description copied from interface: Rule

Get proof line numbers that are used to derive the new formula.

Specified by:

changeProofLines in interface Rule

Following copied from interface: com.meyling.principia.logic.rule.Rule

Parameters:

mapping - array that maps old proof line numbers (index) to new ones (value)

Returns:

same rule but with changed numbers of involved proof lines

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a needed value is -1

checkDeclaration

public static final void checkDeclaration(Module module,
                                          RuleDeclaration declaration)
                                   throws ArgumentException

Check this rule could be declared.

Parameters:

module - the module context

declaration - the declaration that shall declare this rule

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if an programming error occured

ArgumentException - if declaration failed

getVersion

public final Version getVersion()

Description copied from interface: Rule

Get version of this rule.

Specified by:

getVersion in interface Rule

Following copied from interface: com.meyling.principia.logic.rule.Rule

Returns:

rule version

create

public final Argument create(Argument[] arguments)
                      throws ArgumentException

Description copied from interface: Argument

Create a new Argument with given arguments.

Specified by:

create in interface Argument

Overrides:

create in class AbstractArgumentList

Following copied from interface: com.meyling.principia.argument.Argument

Parameters:

arguments - with these arguments the operator should be created

Returns:

new constructed Argument

Throws:

ArgumentException - if creation failed

toString

public final String toString()

Description copied from interface: Argument

Get the argument in String form.

Specified by:

toString in interface Argument

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractArgumentList

Following copied from interface: com.meyling.principia.argument.Argument

Returns:

readable formula
