Partition of an Interval

Partition of an Interval

A division of an interval into a finite number of sub-intervals. Specifically, the partition itself is the set of endpoints of each of the sub-intervals.

 

Example: {0, 0.2, 0.9, 1.1, 1.6, 2} partitions [0,2] into sub-intervals [0,0.2], [0.2,0.9], [0.9,1.1], [1.1,1.6], [1.6,2].
