Definition: set of real numbers such that, for any pair (x, y) of elements of the set, any real number z between x and y belongs to the set

NOTE There are several kinds of intervals:

  • closed interval from a to b: [ a,b]={ xR | axb} MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aqatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbbjxAHX garuavP1wzZbItLDhis9wBH5garmWu51MyVXgarqqtubsr4rNCHbGe aGqipG0dh9qqWrVepG0dbbL8F4rqqrVepeea0xe9LqFf0xc9q8qqaq Fn0lXdHiVcFbIOFHK8Feea0dXdar=Jb9hs0dXdHuk9fr=xfr=xfrpe WZqaaiqaciWaamGadaGadeaabaGaaqaaaOqaamaajmcabaGaamyyai aacYcacaaMe8UaamOyaaGaayzxaiaawUfaaiabg2da9maacmaabaGa amiEaiabgIGioJqabiaa=jfacaaMe8+aaqqaaeaacaaMe8Uaamyyai abgYda8iaadIhacqGH8aapcaWGIbaacaGLhWoaaiaawUhacaGL9baa aaa@4B87@
