Re: floats and intervals, constants, 0.1, 1e400 and Inf
We have applied midpoint-radius representations in recent work. It certainly has its advantage in handling uncertainty. In addition to reliably bound solutions, interval computing is a great tool for knowledge processing especially when uncertainty is involved.

I should like to declare myself as a strong supporter of
midpoint-radius interval representations.
