INTLAB (INTerval LABoratory) is an interval arithmetic library[1][2][3][4] using MATLAB and GNU Octave, available in Windows and Linux, macOS. It was developed by S.M. Rump from Hamburg University of Technology. INTLAB was used to develop other MATLAB-based libraries such as VERSOFT[5] and INTSOLVER,[6] and it was used to solve some problems in the Hundred-dollar, Hundred-digit Challenge problems.[7]

Functionality

INTLAB can help users to solve the following mathematical/numerical problems with interval arithmetic.

Numerical linear algebra[1][2][3][4] (Not only solving matrix systems or eigenvalue problems, INTLAB can handle the least squares, Hessian matrix,[1][3] and verify the positive definiteness of a given matrix[8])
root-finding algorithm[1][3][4]
Affine arithmetic[1][9]
Solving ODEs rigorously (This feature includes external tools such as the AWA toolbox and the Taylor model toolbox)[1][3][10]
Automatic differentiation[1][3][4][11]
Numerical integration[1][3]
Fast Fourier transform[1]
Rigorously compute the gamma function[12]
