General software features

This C++ library can be used to solve a variety of problems that can be formulated roughly as:

Find a reliable characterization with boxes (Cartesian product of intervals) of sets implicitely defined by constraints.

Where 'reliable' means that all sources of uncertainty should be taken into account, including:

  • approximation of real numbers by floating-point numbers,
  • round-off errors,
  • truncation linearization,
  • model parameter uncertainty,
  • measurement noise,
  • ...
Context in which the software is used

Tool for research in constraint programming.
