Unexpected `evaluate` behavior with non-Float64 numbers
Is it expected that evaluate gives vastly different results when using non-Float64 numbers?
julia> using TaylorModels
julia> function eval(N)
t = TaylorModels.Taylor1(3)
q₁ = 1 + 2 * t + 2 * t^2
I = interval(N(0), N(0))
D = interval(N(-1), N(1))
x0 = mid(D)
TM = TaylorModels.TaylorModel1(q₁, I, x0, D)
return evaluate(TM, domain(TM))
end;
julia> eval(Float64)
[-1, 5]
julia> eval(Float32)
[-3, 5]
julia> eval(Rational{Int})
[-3, 5]
Thanks for reporting; that is indeed weird. I'll have a look, and I'll get back here.
Note that since lot is going on in IntervalArithmetic, and that has consequences in TaylorSeries, lots of changes will occur here...
The problem seems to be in TaylorSeries:
julia> D32 = interval(-1f0, 1f0)
[-1f0, 1f0]
julia> D = interval(-1.0, 1.0)
[-1, 1]
julia> t = Taylor1(3)
1.0 t + 𝒪(t⁴)
julia> q₁ = 1 + 2*t + 2*t^2
1.0 + 2.0 t + 2.0 t² + 𝒪(t⁴)
julia> q₁(D)
[-1, 5]
julia> q₁(D32)
[-3, 5]
julia> evaluate(t^2, D)
[0, 1]
julia> evaluate(t^2, D32)
[-1, 1]
The problem seems to be in TaylorSeries:
Noup, the problem is in IntervalArithmetic v0.20.9: somehow, squaring doesn't work for Interval{Float32}
julia> D^2
[0, 1]
julia> D32^2
[-1f0, 1f0]
julia> @which D32^2
^(x::Number, p::Integer)
@ Base intfuncs.jl:311
The problem is solved in current master of IntervalArithmetic.
Thanks for working this out! Then there is nothing we can do for now and this should eventually get resolved when the new version is supported. I leave it to you to keep this issue open as a reminder or close it.
