Abstract

Many applications of geometric nature can be modeled by geometric problems defined by constraints in which the constraint parameters have interval uncertainty. In a previous work, we developed a method for solving geometric constraint problems where parameters are narrow intervals in the domain of the geometric problem. Based on this work, we present a new approach to solve more general problems with non-trivial-width interval parameters that may not necessarily be in the domain of the problem. We show how our approach is successfully applied to a number of problems like solving geometric problems with tolerances, checking constraint feasibility and analyzing link motion of planar mechanisms.
