Abstract

Using error-free transformations, we improve the classic Horner Scheme (HS)
to evaluate (univariate) polynomials in floating point arithmetic.
We prove that this Compensated Horner Scheme (CHS) is as accurate as HS
performed with twice the working precision.
Theoretical analysis and experiments exhibit a reasonable running time
overhead being also more interesting than double-double implementations.
We introduce a dynamic and validated error bound of the CHS computed value.

The talk presents these results together with a survey about error-free
transformations and related hypothesis.
