Abstract
We consider ways to use monotonicity to reduce the excess width (due to dependence) of computed intervals. Use of monotonicity generally involves evaluation of a derivative. We show how monotonicity can often be used without evaluating derivatives. As examples, we show how Gaussian elimination and evaluation of slopes can be sharpened. A variable amount of extra computing is required to obtain the sharper results.
