I agree with the following errata from George Corliss. R. Baker Kearfott From: georgec@marque.mscs.mu.edu (Dr. George F. Corliss MU MSCS) To: rbk@usl.edu (R. Baker Kearfott) Date: Fri, 8 Nov 1996 12:06:01 -0600 (CST) Baker, I'm visiting Ron van Iwaarden this week. We were looking at your paper "Interval Extensions of Non-Smooth Functions for Global Optimization and nonlinear systems solvers". In Section 2, Formula 6, should $x_q = x_r$ be \ne? In that same formula, Ron and I have convinced ourselves that it also makes sense for \frac{\partial \chi}{\partial x_s} = (-\infty, +\infty), too, if 0 \in x_s. George F. Corliss Dept.
