IsolatingInterval[a, dx]
gives an isolating interval of width at most dx.
  • 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.
