Abstract

The straightforward implementation of interval matrix product suffers from poor efficiency, far from the performances of highly optimized floating-point matrix products. In this paper, we show how to reduce the interval matrix multiplication to 9 floating-point matrix products - for performance issues - without sacrificing the quality of the result. Indeed, we show that, compared to the straightforward implementation, the overestimation factor is at most 1.18.
