Solving Interval Linear Equations with Modified Interval Arithmetic

Gaussian elimination method is one of the widely used methods for solving linear equations. An interval version of Gaussian elimination method has been used by simply replacing each real arithmetic step by the corresponding interval arithmetic step. Two interval arithmetics technique has been considered for modified interval arithmetics as well as several existing interval arithmetics. In this paper, modified interval arithmetic has been introduced based on two interval arithmetics technique. If we solve interval linear system of equations by existing interval arithmetic method the replacing solution in interval system of equations, the interval width is more than the interval width of right hand side intervals. On the other hand, applying modified interval arithmetic the interval width is less than interval width than previously obtained by existing interval arithmetic. Moreover, the closeness of interval width in system of equations to the right hand side is important so modified interval arithmetic is more effective and efficient for solving interval linear system of equations.
