Another 1788 implementation



Dear P1788,

only hours after the announcement by Marco, there is another standard implementation available to the public. The interval package for GNU Octave [1] has produced a first release.

It provides all required operations of the preliminary standard document plus some interval matrix operations. More operations are going to follow.

Installation can be done via the GNU Octave command line interface.
octave:1> pkg install -forge interval
octave:2> pkg load interval

Usage is intended to be easy for GNU Octave users and the interval package makes a great tool for prototyping interval algorithms and applications. An introduction with examples can be found in the wiki [2] and a function reference is available at SF.net [3].

Several functions have been tested with the Interval Testing Framework from the University of Würzburg [4], my thanks are given especially to Marco and Maximilian for the creation of this valuable tool.

Please report bugs either to me directly or via the bug tracker [5].
