Abstract
Complex fans are sets of complex numbers whose magnitudes and angles range in closed intervals. The fact that the sum of two fans is a disordered shape gives rise to the need for computational methods to find the minimal enclosing fan. Cases where the sum of two fans contains the origin of the complex plane as a boundary point are of special interest. The result of the addition is then enclosed by circles in current methods, but under certain circumstances this turns out to be an overestimate. The focus of this article is the diagnosis and treatment of such cases.

Complex fans: a representation for vectors in polar form with interval attributes
If we allow the magnitude and angle of a complex number (expressed in polar form) to range over an interval, it describes a semicircular region, similar to a fan; these regions are what we call complex fans. Complex numbers are a special case of ...
Complex interval arithmetic
Complex interval arithmetic is defined using real interval arithmetic. Complex interval division is defined so as to assure smallest possible resulting intervals.
Is an interval the right result of arithmetic operations on intervals?
Systems Analysis: Modeling and Control (special section, pp. 457-499), Vyacheslav Maksimov and Boris Mordukhovich (Eds.)AbstractFor many scientists interval arithmetic (IA, I arithmetic) seems to be easy and simple. However, this is not true. Interval arithmetic is complicated. This is confirmed by the fact that, for years, new, alternative versions of this arithmetic have ...
