" Criteria: We want to be able to do all the rational operations (+, -, *, /) on intervals, returning (usually) intervals. Also, we want to be able to compute for point argument values x,w in Q, f(x,w) -> [r1,r2], an interval of width <= w containing the actual value for f(x). (for f= sqrt, sin, exp, log, sqrt etc.) Also, we want to be able to compute for interval argument values X f(X) -> [r1,r2], an interval. In general there are many possible interval answers. We want to be able to ask for a narrower one if possible -- but how to specify the width? We can't achieve arbitrarily small widths. Also we will need additional functions including comparison relations on intervals R(X,Y) -> boolean R = < , > , tests for disjoint Also binary operations B(X,Y) -> interval for intersection, union, inclusion Also element-of(point, interval) -> boolean Consider `proper intervals' with rational endpoints a,b. We have interior intervals [a,b] where a=a. This is one continuous projective interval, and is the complement of the interior interval [a,b] except that the points a and b are included in both. Notes: Since Infinity in the exterior interval [1,0], we must make sure this happens. The extended rational number omega is in the interval omega, no other. There should be no interval with identical left and right endpoints (unless you allow omega = [infinity, infinity]) If you add (say) [0,1] to [1,0], you get, not [1,1] but omega. There are only a few ways to creating a 0 length interior interval. Example: [1,2]^0 -> 1 (note [-1,1]^0 would be omega). 0 * [1,2] -> 0 Now consider `improper intervals' with one or both endpoints not in Q. There is only one interval with both funny endpoints, and that is [infinity, infinity] which we do not allow explicitly. It's omega. All numbers greater than or equal to rational b would be denoted by [b, infinity] The complement of the numbers in [b, infinity] is the exterior interval [infinity, b]. This is all numbers less than or equal to rational b. You can look at this latter interval as the interior interval from -infinity to b. Do we need the Empty interval? (Null set). It seems to be convenient if you wish to describe as a real interval, sqrt([-2,-1]}. There presumably are lots of questions for the extension to other functions like sqrt([-1,1]) -> ?? Is sqrt([-1,0]) the point 0?
