The map for a real number
in interval space,
would hence correspond to
![-
X ={r∈R :x=x =r}= [r,r]](StabNumRef_PG62x.png)
This is called a singleton interval, where
. The reverse map on a singleton interval is defined as being
. For
non-singleton intervals the map
is generally defined as the midpoint between the interval limits, however
multiple further definitions exist - see the chapter on Interval Intrinsic Functions for a listing on the supported
methods.
