public AttackRelation(ArgumentationKnowledgeBase kb,
                      AttackStrategy strategy)
```

    Parameters:
    
    kb - an argument knowledge base
    
    strategy - a notion of attack for arguments in the knowledgebase

```
public boolean attacks(Argument a,
                       Argument b)
```
    Returns true iff argument a attacks argument b for the notion of attack represented by this attack relation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - an argument
    
    b - another argument
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff argument a attacks argument b

```
public boolean attacks(Set<Argument> attacker,
                       Argument b)
```
    Is true iff at least one attacking argument attacks b
    
    Parameters:
    
    attacker - a set of arguments
    
    b - argument to be attacked by one or more arguments from the attacking set
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff at least one argument from attacker attacks b
  - getAttackingArguments
```
public Set<Argument> getAttackingArguments(Argument a)
```
    Returns all arguments from the knowledgebase, that attack argument a.
    
    Parameters:
    
    a - an argument
    
    Returns:
    
    the set of arguments from kb, that attack argument a
