Interval Analysis : Introduction, Methods and Applications

This book begins by presenting a method for Interval Analysis based on simple statistical tools applied on a space of Gaussian variables in Chapter One. Chapter Two describes how using interval analysis the main part of optimization techniques will allow to partially solve global optimization problems. Chapter Three covers the applications of interval computations in computer graphics. The final chapter addresses the synthesis of Cable-Driven Parallel Manipulators (CDPMs) using interval analysis.
