Set arithmetic and the enclosing problem in dynamics

Marian Mrozek, Piotr Zgliczyński (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study the enclosing problem for discrete and continuous dynamical systems in the context of computer assisted proofs. We review and compare the existing methods and emphasize the importance of developing a suitable set arithmetic for efficient algorithms solving the enclosing problem.

A Mathematical Basis for an Interval Arithmetic Standard

Bohlender, Gerd, Kulisch, Ulrich (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Basic concepts for an interval arithmetic standard are discussed in the paper. Interval arithmetic deals with closed and connected sets of real numbers. Unlike floating-point arithmetic it is free of exceptions. A complete set of formulas to approximate real interval arithmetic on the computer is displayed in section 3 of the paper. The essential comparison relations and lattice operations are discussed in section 6. Evaluation of functions for interval arguments is studied in section...

Formally certified floating-point filters for homogeneous geometric predicates

Guillaume Melquiond, Sylvain Pion (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Floating-point arithmetic provides a fast but inexact way of computing geometric predicates. In order for these predicates to be exact, it is important to rule out all the numerical situations where floating-point computations could lead to wrong results. Taking into account all the potential problems is a tedious work to do by hand. We study in this paper a floating-point implementation of a filter for the orientation-2 predicate, and how a formal and partially automatized verification...

Loss of Accuracy in Numerical Computations Загуба на точност в числените пресмятания

Konstantinov, Mihail, Petkov, Petko (2011)

Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians

Similarity:

Михаил М. Константинов, Петко Х. Петков - Разгледани са възможните катастрофални ефекти от неправилното използване на крайна машинна аритметика с плаваща точка. За съжаление, тази тема не винаги се разбира достатъчно добре от студентите по приложна и изчислителна математика, като положението в инженерните и икономическите специалности в никакъв случай не е по-добро. За преодоляване на този образователен пропуск тук сме разгледали главните виновници за загубата на точност при числените компютърни...

Computer-Assisted Proofs and Symbolic Computations

Krämer, Walter (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

We discuss some main points of computer-assisted proofs based on reliable numerical computations. Such so-called self-validating numerical methods in combination with exact symbolic manipulations result in very powerful mathematical software tools. These tools allow proving mathematical statements (existence of a fixed point, of a solution of an ODE, of a zero of a continuous function, of a global minimum within a given range, etc.) using a digital computer. To validate the assertions...
