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
