Module for simple closed intervals over arbitrary types that are ordered correctly using polymorphic compare.
map t ~f
returns create (f l) (f u)
if bounds t = Some (l, u)
, and empty
if
t
is empty. Note that if f l > f u
, the result of map
is empty
, by the
definition of create
.
If one thinks of an interval as a set of points, rather than a pair of its bounds,
then map
is not the same as the usual mathematical notion of mapping f
over that
set. For example, ~f:(fun x -> x * x)
maps the interval
[-1,1]
to
[1,1]
, not to
[0,1]
.
are_disjoint ts
returns true
iff the intervals in ts
are pairwise disjoint.
Returns true iff a given set of intervals would be disjoint if considered as open intervals. i.e., (3,4) and (4,5) would count as disjoint.
