Description : multi-precision rational interval arithmetic library
GNU MPRIA is a mathematical C library for rational interval arithmetic
computations with arbitrary precision.
The basic principle of rational interval arithmetic consists in enclosing
every number by a rational interval containing it: each number is stored
as its lower and upper endpoints and these bounds are rational numbers;
their absolute difference measures the precision. The purpose is on the
right hand to obtain guaranteed results, thanks to interval computation,
and on the left hand to compute accurate results, thanks to arbitrary
precision arithmetic.
The arithmetic operations are extended for interval operands in such
a way that the exact result of the operation belongs to the computed
rational interval.
The GNU MPRIA library is built upon the GNU MP library for operating
on rational numbers.
