摘要
A new approach to solving systems of linear interval equations based on the generalized procedure of interval extension is proposed. This procedure is based on the treatment of interval zero as an interval centered around zero, and for this reason it is called the "interval extended zero" method. Since the "interval extended zero" method provides a fuzzy solution to interval equations, its interval representations are proposed. It is shown that they may be naturally treated as modified operations of interval division. These operations are used for the modified interval extensions of known numerical methods for solving systems of linear equations and finally for solving systems of linear interval equations. Using a well known example, it is shown that the solution obtained by the proposed method can be treated as an inner interval approximation of the united solution and an outer interval approximation of the tolerable solution, and lies within the range of possible AE-solutions between the extreme tolerable and united solutions. Generally, we can say that the proposed method provides the results which can be treated as approximate formal solutions sometimes referred to as algebraic solutions. Seven known examples are used to illustrate the method's efficacy and advantages in comparison with known methods providing formal (algebraic) solutions to systems of linear interval equations. It is shown that a new method provides results which are close to the so-called maximal inner solutions (the corresponding method was developed by Kupriyanova, Zyuzin and Markov) and the algebraic solutions obtained by the subdifferential Newton method proposed by Shary. It is important that the proposed method makes it possible to avoid inverted interval solutions. The influence of the system's size and number of zero entries on the results is analyzed by applying the proposed method to the Leontief input-output model of economics.
