A set of intervals, I would assume... The reason for that is that i will probably end up with set theoretic operations like complement, and in that case the complement of an interval of reals will have a hole in it somewhere. That's why i represented them as lists of pairs (lower and upper bound of the sub-interval, so to speak) , but that will probably get ugly before long. > Then, some other questions follow: > - possibly infinite sets within any given interval? I was not explicitly thinking of infinite sets, i just wanted to keep the precision open for now. I would say, up to 4 decimal figures maximum. > - open or closed intervals? closed intervals, but with holes.
