      The complexity of computing the range of a polynomial, resp. a linear combination of computable in polynomial time monotonic functions over a region, which is either an interval or a finite union of intervals, is considered. It is shown that the problem is not NP-hard in the first case (interval region) and is NP-hard in the second case (multiinterval region).
