Abstract

Different solution sets for the interval system A · x = b are characterized and classified using diagrammatic tools for interval analysis developed recently. A thorough analysis of the basic, one-dimensional system a · xb is conducted, with the help of a MR-diagram, in which all the needed relations ◊ ∈ {\(\mathop o\limits_ - ^ - \), ⊇, ⊆,=} are directly representable. The solution sets are obtained with simple diagrammatic constructions, in terms of quotients of a and b. A complete classification of all possible solution types is provided as a result. The generalization of the analysis to 2- and n-dimensional systems is outlined as well.

The paper was supported by the Research Project No. 8 T11 F 006 15 (for the years 1998–2001) from KBN (The State Committee for Scientific Research).
