Abstract
Extensions are made of a recently developed theory of floating-point error analysis to facilitate the construction and computation of strict error bounds of a posteriori type. Inter alia, these extensions obviate the need for specially-directed rounding procedures in computer hardware or software, and reduce computational cost by enabling error bounds to be computed to a low working precision. Applications are made to the evaluation of products, quotients, powers, sums and inner products, and also to the processes of input and output.Keywords
