## Detailed Description

### template<typename ITV>
class Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >

A not necessarily closed, iso-oriented hyperrectangle.

A Box object represents the smash product of not necessarily closed and possibly unbounded intervals represented by objects of class `ITV`, where is the space dimension of the box.

An interval constraint (resp., interval congruence) is a syntactic constraint (resp., congruence) that only mentions a single space dimension.

The Box domain optimally supports:

- tautological and inconsistent constraints and congruences;
- the interval constraints that are optimally supported by the template argument class `ITV`;
- the interval congruences that are optimally supported by the template argument class `ITV`.

Depending on the method, using a constraint or congruence that is not optimally supported by the domain will either raise an exception or result in a (possibly non-optimal) upward approximation.

The user interface for the Box domain is meant to be as similar as possible to the one developed for the polyhedron class C_Polyhedron.

  std::invalid_argument | Thrown if `*this` and `y` are dimension-incompatible.

Note
  As was the case for widening operators, the argument `y` is meant to denote the value computed in the previous iteration step, whereas `*this` denotes the value computed in the current iteration step (in the decreasing iteration sequence). Hence, the call `x.CC76_narrowing_assign(y)` will assign to `x` the result of the computation .

template<typename ITV >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::add_space_dimensions_and_embed | ( | dimension_type | m | ) |

inline

Adds `m` new dimensions and embeds the old box into the new space.

Parameters

  m | The number of dimensions to add.

The new dimensions will be those having the highest indexes in the new box, which is defined by a system of interval constraints in which the variables running through the new dimensions are unconstrained. For instance, when starting from the box and adding a third dimension, the result will be the box

template<typename ITV >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::add_space_dimensions_and_project | ( | dimension_type | m | ) |

inline

Adds `m` new dimensions to the box and does not embed it in the new vector space.

Parameters

  m | The number of dimensions to add.

The new dimensions will be those having the highest indexes in the new box, which is defined by a system of bounded differences in which the variables running through the new dimensions are all constrained to be equal to 0. For instance, when starting from the box and adding a third dimension, the result will be the box

template<typename ITV >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::concatenate_assign | ( | const Box< ITV > & | y | ) |

Seeing a box as a set of tuples (its points), assigns to `*this` all the tuples that can be obtained by concatenating, in the order given, a tuple of `*this` with a tuple of `y`.

Let and be the boxes corresponding, on entry, to `*this` and `y`, respectively. Upon successful completion, `*this` will represent the box such that

Another way of seeing it is as follows: first increases the space dimension of `*this` by adding `y.space_dimension()` new dimensions; then adds to the system of constraints of `*this` a renamed-apart version of the constraints of `y`.

template<typename ITV >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::remove_space_dimensions | ( | const Variables_Set & | vars | ) |

template<typename ITV >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::remove_higher_space_dimensions | ( | dimension_type | new_dimension | ) |

template<typename Partial_Function >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::map_space_dimensions | ( | const Partial_Function & | pfunc | ) |

Remaps the dimensions of the vector space according to a partial function.

Parameters

  pfunc | The partial function specifying the destiny of each dimension.

The template type parameter Partial_Function must provide the following methods.

bool has_empty_codomain() const

returns `true` if and only if the represented partial function has an empty co-domain (i.e., it is always undefined). The `has_empty_codomain()` method will always be called before the methods below. However, if `has_empty_codomain()` returns `true`, none of the functions below will be called.

dimension_type max_in_codomain() const

returns the maximum value that belongs to the co-domain of the partial function.

bool maps(dimension_type i, dimension_type& j) const

Let be the represented function and be the value of `i`. If is defined in , then is assigned to `j` and `true` is returned. If is undefined in , then `false` is returned.

The result is undefined if `pfunc` does not encode a partial function with the properties described in the specification of the mapping operator.

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::expand_space_dimension | ( | Variable | var,

| ) |  |

inline

Creates `m` copies of the space dimension corresponding to `var`.

Parameters

  var | The variable corresponding to the space dimension to be replicated;
  m | The number of replicas to be created.

Exceptions

  std::invalid_argument | Thrown if `var` does not correspond to a dimension of the vector space.
  std::length_error | Thrown if adding `m` new space dimensions would cause the vector space to exceed dimension `max_space_dimension()`.

If `*this` has space dimension , with , and `var` has space dimension , then the -th space dimension is expanded to `m` new space dimensions , , , .

template<typename ITV >

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Box< ITV >::fold_space_dimensions | ( | const Variables_Set & | vars,

| ) |  |

Folds the space dimensions in `vars` into `dest`.

Parameters

  vars | The set of Variable objects corresponding to the space dimensions to be folded;
  dest | The variable corresponding to the space dimension that is the destination of the folding operation.

Exceptions

  std::invalid_argument | Thrown if `*this` is dimension-incompatible with `dest` or with one of the Variable objects contained in `vars`. Also thrown if `dest` is contained in `vars`.

If `*this` has space dimension , with , `dest` has space dimension , `vars` is a set of variables whose maximum space dimension is also less than or equal to , and `dest` is not a member of `vars`, then the space dimensions corresponding to variables in `vars` are folded into the -th space dimension.

inline

If the space dimension of `var` is unbounded below, return `false`. Otherwise return `true` and set `n`, `d` and `closed` accordingly.

Note
  It is assumed that `*this` is a non-empty box having space dimension greater than or equal to that of `var`. An undefined behavior is obtained if this assumption is not met.

Let be the interval corresponding to variable `var` in the non-empty box `*this`. If is not bounded from below, simply return `false` (leaving all other parameters unchanged). Otherwise, set `n`, `d` and `closed` as follows:

- `n` and `d` are assigned the integers and such that the fraction corresponds to the greatest lower bound of . The fraction is in canonical form, meaning that and have no common factors, is positive, and if is zero then is one;
- `closed` is set to `true` if and only if the lower boundary of is closed (i.e., it is included in the interval).
