MPFI is intended to be a portable library written in C for arbitrary
|
|
precision interval arithmetic with intervals represented using MPFR
|
|
reliable floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library
|
|
and on the MPFR library. The purpose of an arbitrary precision
|
|
interval arithmetic is on the one hand to get guaranteed results,
|
|
thanks to interval computation, and on the other hand to obtain
|
|
accurate results, thanks to multiple precision arithmetic. The MPFI
|
|
library is built upon MPFR in order to benefit from the correct
|
|
roundings provided by MPFR. Further advantages of using MPFR are its
|
|
portability and compliance with the IEEE 754 standard for
|
|
floating-point arithmetic.
