Abstract

A new method has been proposed here for solving fully interval linear systems of equations where both coefficient matrix and the right-hand side vector are intervals. In this method, center solution has been used with the tolerable solution criteria to compute the inner solution set. A few example problems are solved to demonstrate the proposed method. Numerical results are compared with existing methods and are found to be in good agreement.
