+ <longdescription lang="en">
+ MPFI is intended to be a portable library written in C for arbitrary
+ precision interval arithmetic with intervals represented using MPFR
+ reliable floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library
+ and on the MPFR library. The purpose of an arbitrary precision
+ interval arithmetic is on the one hand to get guaranteed results,
+ thanks to interval computation, and on the other hand to obtain
+ accurate results, thanks to multiple precision arithmetic. The MPFI
+ library is built upon MPFR in order to benefit from the correct
+ roundings provided by MPFR. Further advantages of using MPFR are its
+ portability and compliance with the IEEE 754 standard for
+ floating-point arithmetic.
