About:
MPFI is a C library for multiple precision interval arithmetic based on MPFR. It provides reliable numerical computations by representing numbers as intervals to handle rounding errors, ensuring rigorous results for mathematical functions.

Key Features:

Arbitrary precision interval arithmetic
Based on the reliable MPFR library
Comprehensive set of mathematical functions
C API for integration into other software

Use Cases:

Scientific computing requiring rigorous error bounds
Verified numerical analysis and computational geometry
Benchmarking and testing numerical algorithms

Alternatives:

GMP – GMP provides arbitrary precision arithmetic but not interval arithmetic for error bounding
MPFR – MPFR offers precise floating-point arithmetic; MPFI builds on it to provide interval-based computations
