    Interval arithmetic

    Interval arithmetic

    Interval arithmetic is a numerical framework in which numbers are represented as closed intervals and arithmetic operations are extended so that the exact result is guaranteed to lie within computed bounds. It underpins validated numerics, enabling mathematically rigorous control of rounding and data uncertainty in scientific computing, optimization, and computer‑assisted proofs. The approach has been formalized in the IEEE 1788 standard and is implemented in several software libraries across programming languages.
