> | ### D.8.8 rootisolation_lib Library: rootisolation.lib Purpose: implements an algorithm for real root isolation using interval arithmetic Authors: Dominik Bendle (bendle@rhrk.uni-kl.de) Janko Boehm (boehm@mathematik.uni-lk.de), supervisor Fachpraktikum Clara Petroll (petroll@rhrk.uni-kl.de) Overview: In this library the interval arithmetic from `interval.so` is used. The new type `ivmat`, a matrix consisting of intervals, is implemented as `newstruct`. There are various functions for computations with interval matrices implemented, such as Gaussian elimination for interval matrices. Interval arithmetic, the interval Newton Step and exclusion methods are used to implement the procedure `rootIsolation`, an algorithm which finds boxes containing elements of the vanishing locus of an ideal. This algorithm is specialised for zero-dimensional radical ideals. The theory about the interval Newton Step is detailed in [2]. Note that interval arithmetic and the aforementioned procedures are intended for rational or real polynomial rings.
