Re: Can you clarify? Re: Do I have a second? Re: Motion to stop work on the standard



Baker,

Is Siegfried's proposed interval foundation yet another example of an system that would not be a P1788 standard conforming flavor?

I found is paper very innovative and interesting.

Cheers,

Bill

Siegfried,

Thank you for pointing this out.  We will look this up.
We apologize for overlooking this, if you had pointed this out
to us before.

However I'm rather worried that there are no reference implementations
yet, and when one becomes ready, there will not be much time to test
it. So, this increases the risk to have a bad standard.


I pointed out several times that IMHO there is a severe problem with
infinity in the proposed standard. Then I wrote a paper solving this,
offering other advantages as well:

S.M. Rump. Interval Arithmetic Over Finitely Many Endpoints. BIT
Numerical Mathematics, 52(4):1059–1075, 2012.

The only comment I heard from the stds-1788 mail group was that there is
no reference implementation. What a strange logic.

Best wishes,
