ABSTRACT:
Computing an output interval includes producing a first result from a conditional selection using a first operand, a second operand, and a third operand, the operands respectively including a second input interval upper-point, a first input interval upper-point, and a first input interval lower-point. Next, computing an output interval includes producing a second result from the conditional selection, the operands respectively including a second input interval upper-point, the first input interval upper-point, and the first input interval lower-point. Furthermore, computing an output interval includes producing a third result from a conditional division using the first operand, the second operand, and the third operand, the operands respectively including the first result, the second input interval upper-point, and the second input interval lower-point. And finally, a fourth result is produced from the conditional division, the operands respectively including the second result, the second input interval lower-point, and the second input interval upper-point.
