Constructor Detail

Statement

public Statement(Term leftTerm,
                 Term rightTerm)

Creates a new statement with the given terms.

Parameters:

leftTerm - a term.

rightTerm - a term.

Method Detail

getLeftTerm

public Term getLeftTerm()

Returns the left term of this statement.

Returns:

the left term of this statement.

getMinimums

public Set<Minimum> getMinimums()

Returns all minimums of this statement.

Returns:

all minimums of this statement.

getMaximums

public Set<Maximum> getMaximums()

Returns all maximums of this statement.

Returns:

all maximums of this statement.

getAbsoluteValues

public Set<AbsoluteValue> getAbsoluteValues()

Returns all absolute values of this statement.

Returns:

all absolute values of this statement.

replaceTerm

public abstract Statement replaceTerm(Term toSubstitute,
                                      Term substitution)

Replaces each occurrence of "toSubstitute" by "substitution" and return the new statement.

Parameters:

toSubstitute - the term to be substituted

substitution - the new term

Returns:

this statement where "toSubstitute" is replaced by "substitution"

replaceAllTerms

public Statement replaceAllTerms(Map<? extends Term,? extends Term> substitutes)

Replaces terms according to the given map.

Parameters:

substitutes - a map.

Returns:

a term.

isNormalized

public abstract boolean isNormalized()

Checks whether this constraint is of normalized form, i.e. whether it has the form "T > 0" or "T >= 0", "T = 0" or "T != 0"

Returns:

"true" iff this constraint is normalized.

toNormalizedForm

public abstract Statement toNormalizedForm()

Normalizes this constraint, i.e. brings it into an equivalent form "T > 0" or "T >= 0", "T = 0" or "T != 0".

Returns:

a statement.

toLinearForm

public abstract Statement toLinearForm()

Brings both terms into linear form. If this constraint is normalized (i.e. the right term consists of the constant 0) the right term is not linearized.

Returns:

a statement.

collapseAssociativeOperations

public void collapseAssociativeOperations()

This method collapses all associative operations appearing in this statement, e.g. every min{min{a,b},c} becomes min{a,b,c}

expandAssociativeOperations

public void expandAssociativeOperations()

This method expands all associative operations appearing in this statement, e.g. every min{a,b,c} becomes min{min{a,b},c}.

getRightTerm

public Term getRightTerm()

Returns the right term of this statement.

Returns:

the right term of this statement.

setLeftTerm

public void setLeftTerm(Term t)

Sets the left term of this statement.

Parameters:

t - a term

setRightTerm

public void setRightTerm(Term t)

Sets the right term of this statement.

Parameters:

t - a term

getRelationSymbol

public abstract String getRelationSymbol()

Returns the relation symbol of this statement.

Returns:

the relation symbol of this statement.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
