5.2.4 Special Assignment

interval<T>& set_whole(); 
interval<T>& set_empty(); 
interval<T>& set_lunbound(); 
interval<T>& set_runbound();

These assign special values to the given interval object.

set_whole()


Set the current interval A ∈IR to an unbounded state a= -∞ and a= ∞. Returns a reference to the current object.

set_empty()


Set the current interval A ∈IR to A = ∅. Returns a reference to the current object.

set_lunbound()


Set the infinimum of the current interval as unbounded. Returns a reference to the current object.

set_runbound()


Set the supremum of the current interval as unbounded. Returns a reference to the current object.
