Constructor Detail

AbsoluteValue

public AbsoluteValue(Term term)

Creates a new absolute value term with the given inner term.

Parameters:

term - a term

Method Detail

getAbsoluteValues

public Set<AbsoluteValue> getAbsoluteValues()

Description copied from class: Term

Returns all absolute values of this term.

Overrides:

getAbsoluteValues in class FunctionalTerm

Returns:

all absolute values of this term.

replaceTerm

public Term replaceTerm(Term toSubstitute,
                        Term substitution)

Description copied from class: Term

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

Specified by:

replaceTerm in class FunctionalTerm

Parameters:

toSubstitute - the term to be substituted

substitution - the new term

Returns:

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

derive

public Term derive(Variable v)
            throws NonDifferentiableException

Description copied from class: Term

Differentiates the term with respect to the given variable.

Specified by:

derive in class Term

Parameters:

v - a variable.

Returns:

the derivation of this term wrt. the given variable.

Throws:

NonDifferentiableException - if the term cannot be differentiated.

simplify

public Term simplify()

Description copied from class: Term

Simplifies this term in an equivalent way:
- Replaces products that contain a zero by the constant zero
- Removes a term one from products
- Removes a term zero from sums
- Aggregates constants in sums, products, and minimums
- Evaluates functional terms on constants
- Simplifies fractions where possible.

Specified by:

simplify in class Term

Returns:

the simplified term.

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class FunctionalTerm

isContinuous

public boolean isContinuous(Variable v)

Description copied from class: Term

Checks whether this term is continuous in v.

Specified by:

isContinuous in class Term

"true" iff this term is continuous in v.

value

public Constant value()
               throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: Term

Computes the actual value of this term if it contains no variables.

Specified by:

value in class FunctionalTerm

Returns:

the value of this term, either a float or an integer.

Throws:
