Abstract

Interval iteration can be used, in conjunction with othertechniques, for rigorously bounding all solutions to a nonlinear systemof equations within a given region, or for verifying approximatesolutions. However, because of overestimation which occurs when theinterval Jacobian matrix is accumulated and applied, straightforwardlinearization of the original nonlinear system sometimes leads tononconvergent iteration.In this paper, we examine interval iterations based on an expandedsystem obtained from the intermediate quantities in the original system.In this system, there is no overestimation in entries of the intervalJacobi matrix, and nonlinearities can be taken into account to obtainsharp bounds. We present an example in detail, algorithms, and detailedexperimental results obtained from applying our algorithms to theexample.—Author's Abstract
