IsolatingInterval
IsolatingInterval
[
a
]
gives a rational isolating interval for the algebraic number
a
.
IsolatingInterval
[
a
,
dx
]
gives an isolating interval of width at most
dx
.
MORE INFORMATION
IsolatingInterval
[
a
]
gives an interval that does not contain any other root with the same minimal polynomial as
a
.
If
a
is complex,
IsolatingInterval
[
a
]
gives a pair of Gaussian rationals defining an isolating rectangle in the complex plane.
