Real meaning of rationally computed endpoint enclosures #
Rational endpoint calculations enclose arbitrary real members of an interval, not just rational samples. The rounding interface still accepts only executable rationals. Its endpoint bounds are embedded into the reals after the computation, so no real-number rounding oracle is needed.
Rational outward rounding encloses every real between the exact rational bounds.
Lift a rational endpoint enclosure whose interpreted bounds enclose the desired real image.
Lift a rational binary endpoint enclosure to arbitrary real members of its input intervals.
Successful negation encloses the negative of every represented real.
Successful rational endpoint addition encloses sums of arbitrary real members.
Successful rational endpoint subtraction encloses differences of arbitrary real members.
Successful rational four-corner multiplication encloses products of arbitrary real members.
Successful rational four-corner division encloses quotients of arbitrary real members.
