Solving linear systems whose elements are nonlinear functions of intervals (Q2387763)

First, a direct method for computing a tight and cheap outer solution is presented. It is based on a general approach to bounding the solution set of perturbed systems of nonlinear equations. Then a method for an interval solution is given for the case where certain monotonicity conditions regarding the derivatives of the variables with respect to parameters are satisfied. This is an extension of the author's approach [Reliab. Comput. 8, 493--501 (2002; Zbl 1024.65027)] and is based on the outer solution given earlier. A simple iterative method for finding a tight inner solution is presented. In the last section an illustrative example is given.
