|
|
The interval package for real-valued interval arithmetic allows one to
|
||
|
|
evaluate functions over subsets of their domain. All results are verified,
|
||
|
|
because interval computations automatically keep track of any errors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These concepts can be used to handle uncertainties, estimate arithmetic
|
||
|
|
errors and produce reliable results. Also it can be applied to
|
||
|
|
computer-assisted proofs, constraint programming, and verified computing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation is based on interval boundaries represented by
|
||
|
|
binary64 numbers and is conforming to IEEE Std 1788-2015, IEEE standard
|
||
|
|
for interval arithmetic.
