Method Detail

eval

public abstract Double eval(Double val1,
                            Double val2)

Description copied from interface: BinaryFunction

Evaluates the function for the given elements.

Specified by:

eval in interface BinaryFunction<Double,Double,Double>

Parameters:

val1 - some element

val2 - some element

Returns:

the value of the element.

eval

public Double eval(Collection<Double> vals)

Generalizes this conorm on sets of input parameters (as t-conorms are associative, the order is not important).

Parameters:

vals - a set of values

Returns:

the evaluation result on the input

evalTerm

public abstract Term evalTerm(Term val1,
                              Term val2)

Gives a representation of this conorm as a mathematical term

Parameters:

val1 - the term denoting the first parameter

val2 - the term denoting the second parameter

Returns:

the term denoting this conorm evaluation on the two terms

evalTerm

public Term evalTerm(Collection<Term> vals)

Gives a representation of this conorm as a mathematical term. Generalizes this conorm on sets of input parameters (as t-conorms are associative, the order is not important).

Parameters:

vals - a set of value terms

Returns:

the evaluation result on the input as a term

getDualNorm

public abstract TNorm getDualNorm()

Returns the dual T-norm of this T-conorm.

Returns:

isNilpotent

public abstract boolean isNilpotent()

A T-conorm is nilpotent if there are x,y<1 with s(x,y)=1

Returns:

true if the conorm is nilpotent
