Interval analysis

Interval Analysis in Matlab

The introduction of fast and efficient software for interval arithmetic, such as the MATLAB toolbox INTLAB, has resulted in the increased popularity of the use of interval analysis. We give an introduction to interval arithmetic and explain how it is implemented in the toolbox INTLAB. A tutorial is provided for those who wish to learn how to use INTLAB. We then focus on the interval versions of...

Improving Interval Analysis

Interval Analysis and Robotics

Interval analysis is a relatively new mathematical tools that allows one to deal with problems that may have to be solved numerically with a computer. Examples of such problems are system solving and global optimization but numerous other problems may be addressed as well. This approach has the following general advantages: • it allows to find solutions of a problem only within some finite doma...

Robust State Feedback for Interval Systems: An Interval Analysis Approach

The problem of robust state feedback design for a linear dynamical system with uncertain (interval) parameters is considered. The designed state feedback controller has to place all the coefficients of the closed loop system characteristic polynomial within assigned closed loop interval characteristic polynomial. A condition is derived using certain known facts about matrix minors and its chara...
