Overview:

In this library the interval arithmetic from interval.so is used. The new type ivmat, a matrix consisting of intervals, is implemented as newstruct. There are various functions for computations with interval matrices implemented, such as Gaussian elimination for interval matrices.

Interval arithmetic, the interval Newton Step and exclusion methods are used to implement the procedure rootIsolation, an algorithm which finds boxes containing elements of the vanishing locus of an ideal. This algorithm is specialised for zero-dimensional radical ideals. The theory about the interval Newton Step is detailed in [2].

Note that interval arithmetic and the aforementioned procedures are intended for rational or real polynomial rings.
