SLIDE 11 2.3 Interval Linear Systems
An interval linear system is of the form: ˙ y = Ay, y(t0) = y0 ∈ Y0, where y ∈ Rn, Y0 ⊂ Rn and A is a n × n matrix, the elements of which are independent intervals of real numbers.
Theorem 2.2 (M. Althoff et al. (2007))
The over-approximation of the interval matrix exponential with order p, denoted ⌈eAt

and A∞ = max(|A|, |A|)∞, in which the absolute value and the maximum in the above expression are determined elementwise.
