The Interval package for Coq

Participant : Guillaume Melquiond [contact] .

Keywords: Interactive theorem proving, interval arithmetic, floating-point arithmetic.

Criteria for Software Self-Assessment: A-3, SO-4, SM-3, EM-3, SDL-4, OC-4.

The Interval package provides several tactics for helping a Coq user to prove theorems on enclosures of real-valued expressions. The proofs are performed by an interval kernel which relies on a computable formalization of floating-point arithmetic in Coq.

It is distributed as open source, under a LGPL license, at http://www.lri.fr/~melquion/soft/coq-interval/ . Part of the work on this library was done while in the Mathematical Components team (Microsoft Research–Inria Joint Research Center).

In 2010, the Flocq library was used to straighten and fill the floating-point proofs of the Interval package.
