<longdescription lang="en">
MPFI is intended to be a portable library written in C for arbitrary
precision interval arithmetic with intervals represented using MPFR
reliable floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library
and on the MPFR library. The purpose of an arbitrary precision
interval arithmetic is on the one hand to get guaranteed results,
thanks to interval computation, and on the other hand to obtain
accurate results, thanks to multiple precision arithmetic. The MPFI
library is built upon MPFR in order to benefit from the correct
roundings provided by MPFR. Further advantages of using MPFR are its
portability and compliance with the IEEE 754 standard for
floating-point arithmetic.
