Abstract

Consider linear algebraic systems \(A(p)x=b(p)\), where the matrix and the right-hand side vector depend linearly on a number of parameters \(p=(p_1,\ldots , p_K)^{\top }\) that vary within given intervals. For each interval parameter, the structure of the dependencies can be presented by a finite sum of rank one matrices. This representation implies new more general and powerful sufficient conditions for regularity of a parametric interval matrix and a flexible general methodology for solving parametric interval linear systems with an expanded scope of applicability.

Notes

  1. The abbreviation “parametric interval linear system” is used in this and other articles as a synonym of the abbreviation “interval parametric linear system” used, e.g., in [4, 5], although the second one might be more appropriate.

  2. An exception is the method based on the methodology presented in [17].

  3. Overestimation is defined at the end of Example 4.1.
