One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for performing a minimum computation for an interval multiplication operation. This system receives four floating-point numbers, including a first floating-point number, a second floating-point number, a third floating-point number and a fourth floating-point number. The system then computes a minimum of the four floating-point numbers, wherein if the four floating-point numbers include one or more default NaN (not-a-number) values, the system sets the minimum to negative infinity. One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for performing a minimum computation for an interval division operation. This system receives four floating-point numbers, including a first floating-point number, a second floating-point number, a third floating-point number and a fourth floating-point number. The system then computes a minimum of the four floating-point numbers, wherein if the four floating-point numbers include one or more default NaN (not-a-number) values, the default NaN values are ignored in computing the minimum.
