Constructor Detail

SetDenotator

protected SetDenotator(String name)

Initialize a new set denotator with the given name.

Parameters:

name - The name of this set denotator.

Method Detail

logicalEquals

public SecondOrderEquality logicalEquals(SetDenotator that)

Return the formula that says this set is equal to that set.

Parameters:

that - The other variable. `That' is a mnemonic for this.logicalEquals(that).

Returns:

The atomic formula claiming this set is equal to that set. | result.getFirstVariable() == this && | result.getSecondVariable() == that

subset

public Subset subset(SetDenotator that)

Return the formula that says this set is a subset of that set.

Parameters:

that - The other variable. `That' is a mnemonic for this.subset(that).

Returns:

The atomic formula claiming this set is a subset of that set. | result.getSubsetVariable() == this && | result.getSupersetVariable() == that

superset

public Subset superset(SetDenotator that)

Return the formula that says this set is a superset of that set.

Parameters:

that - The other variable. `That' is a mnemonic for this.superset(that).

Returns:

The atomic formula claiming this set is a superset of that set. | result.getSubsetVariable() == that && | result.getSupersetVariable() == this

contains

public Inclusion contains(FirstOrderVariable that)

Return the formula that says that variable is an element of this set.

Parameters:

that - The other variable. `That' is a mnemonic for this.contains(that).

Returns:

The atomic formula claiming that set is an element of this set. | result.getIncludedVariable() == that && | result.getContainingVariable() == this
