Abstract
The general problem of comparison of numbers specified by intervals of possible values is considered in connection with optimization of systems with undetermined parameters. The solution of the problem is obtained that uses a measure of proximity of intervals. This solution is extended to any intervals that are arbitrarily located relative to one another.
