A Neural Net Approach to Improving Interval Arithmetic
نویسنده
چکیده
Interval arithmetic has become a popular tool for general optimization problems such as robust root finding and global maximum/minimum finding. This has been effectively applied in many computer fields, such as computer graphics. However, interval arithmetic suffers from two significant weaknesses. First, its evaluations are often very conservative, making it useless in many practical situations. Second, it can be much slower than traditional arithmetic. In this paper we present a new approach to computing interval arithmetic: neural network approximation. This naturally provides more accuracy since each traditional interval operation can introduce errors that compound, but a neural emulation approach requires only one approximation. Further, greater overall speed can be achieved. Keywords interval arithmetic, function approximation, optimization, root finding

Arithmetic Aggregation Operators for Interval-valued Intuitionistic Linguistic Variables and Application to Multi-attribute Group Decision Making
The intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS) is an extension of linguisitc variable. To overcome the drawback of using single real number to represent membership degree and non-membership degree for ILS, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic linguistic set (IVILS) is introduced through representing the membership degree and non-membership degree with intervals for ILS in this paper. The oper...
متن کاملSolving the Forward Kinematics of Cable-Driven Parallel Robots with Neural Networks and Interval Arithmetic
This paper investigates a new approach for solving the forward kinematics of cable-driven parallel robots. This approach combines an interval algorithm with neural networks to provide a fast but accurate initial guess. The neural networks increase the computation speed by a factor of 200 or more, while the interval algorithm provides guaranteed convergence and a definite solution to any chosen ...
متن کاملClose interval approximation of piecewise quadratic fuzzy numbers for fuzzy fractional program
The fuzzy approach has undergone a profound structural transformation in the past few decades. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explain fuzzy approach for linear and nonlinear programs. While, the findings in earlier studies have been conflicting, recent studies of competitive situations indicate that fractional programming problem has a positive impact on comparative scenario. We pro...
متن کاملProviding a Method for Solving Interval Linear Multi-Objective Problems Based on the Goal Programming Approach
Most research has focused on multi-objective issues in its definitive form, with decision-making coefficients and variables assumed to be objective and constraint functions. In fact, due to inaccurate and ambiguous information, it is difficult to accurately identify the values of the coefficients and variables. Interval arithmetic is appropriate for describing and solving uncertainty and inaccu...
