The GNU Octave [http://octave.sourceforge.net/interval/ interval package] for real-valued interval arithmetic.
The GNU Octave interval package for real-valued interval arithmetic.
 
The interval package provides data types and operations for
verified computing.  It can be used to handle uncertainties, estimate
arithmetic errors and produce reliable results.  Also it can help find
guaranteed solutions to numerical problems.  Thanks to GNU MPFR many
arithmetic operations are provided with best possible accuracy.  The
implementation of intervals in inf-sup format is based on interval boundaries
represented by binary64 numbers and is standard conforming to the
(proposed) standard for interval arithmetic
[http://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/1788.html IEEE P1788].
