Method Detail

satisfies

boolean satisfies(Formula formula)
           throws IllegalArgumentException

Checks whether this interpretation satisfies the given formula.

Parameters:

formula - a formula .

Returns:

"true" if this interpretation satisfies the given formula.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the formula does not correspond to the expected language.

satisfies

boolean satisfies(Collection<? extends Formula> formulas)
           throws IllegalArgumentException

Checks whether this interpretation satisfies all given formulas.

Parameters:

formulas - a collection of formulas.

Returns:

"true" if this interpretation satisfies all given formulas.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if at least one formula does not correspond to the expected language.

satisfies

boolean satisfies(BeliefBase beliefBase)
           throws IllegalArgumentException

Checks whether this interpretation satisfies the given knowledge base.

Parameters:

beliefBase - a knowledge base.

Returns:

"true" if this interpretation satisfies the given knowledge base.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - IllegalArgumentException if the knowledgebase does not correspond to the expected language.
