Abstract

Correcting an infinite loop in Douglas M. Priest's renormalization algorithm, the theory proved here supports streamlined algorithms to resolve the tablemaker's dilemma for the floating-point computation of real and complex sums and dot-products, properly rounded to the ultimate digit. Applications include computations of areas, volumes, and intersections.
