Given a real matrix, we analyze an open interval, called row exclusion interval, such that the real eigenvalues do not belong to it. We characterize when the row exclusion interval is nonempty. In addition to the exclusion interval, inclusion intervals for the real eigenvalues, alternative to those provided by the Gerschgorin disks, are also considered for matrices whose off-diagonal entries pr...

Crisp comparison matrices produce crisp weight estimates. It is logical for an interval or fuzzy comparison matrix to give an interval or fuzzy weight estimate. In this paper, an eigenvector method (EM) is proposed to generate interval or fuzzy weight estimate from an interval or fuzzy comparison matrix, which differs from Csutora and Buckley’s LambdaMax method in several aspects. First, the pr...

In this report, we present a method for calculating maximum singular value of an interval matrix. First, we provide an algorithm for calculating the maximum singular value of a square interval matrix. Then, based on this algorithm, we extend the result to non-square interval matrix case. Through numerical examples, the validity of the suggested method is illustrated.

This paper is concerned with real interval arithmetic. We focus on interval matrix multiplication. Well-known algorithms for this purpose require the evaluation of several point matrix products to compute one interval matrix product. In order to save computing time we propose a method that modifies such known algorithm by partially using low-precision floating-point arithmetic. The modified alg...
