This interval package is ''not'' meant to be a replacement for INTLAB and any compatibility with it is pure coincidence. Since both are compatible with GNU Octave, they happen to agree on many function names and programs written for INTLAB may possibly run with this interval package as well. Some fundamental differences that I am currently aware of: | This interval package is ''not'' meant to be a replacement for INTLAB and any compatibility with it is pure coincidence.

For C++ there is an open source interval library [https://github.com/nehmeier/libieeep1788/ libieeep1788] by Marco Nehmeier (member of IEEE P1788). It aims to be standard compliant with IEEE 1788 and is designed in a modular way, supporting several interval data types and different flavors of interval arithmetic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOa9aWAZO_Q]. The GNU Octave interval package shares several unit tests with libieeep1788. | For C++ there is an open source interval library [https://github.com/nehmeier/libieeep1788/ libieeep1788] by Marco Nehmeier (member of IEEE P1788).

For MATLAB there is a proprietary interval arithmetic toolbox [http://www.ti3.tu-harburg.de/rump/intlab/ INTLAB] by Siegfried Rump. It had been free of charge for academic use in the past, but no longer is. Its origin dates back to 1999, so it is well tested and comprises a lot of functionality, especially for vector / matrix operations. INTLAB is compatible with GNU Octave since Version 9 [http://www.ti3.tuhh.de/rump/intlab/Octave/octave.html]. | For MATLAB there is a proprietary interval arithmetic toolbox [http://www.ti3.tu-harburg.de/rump/intlab/ INTLAB] by Siegfried Rump.
