Different definitions of an epsilon-inflation are possible, depending on the context. Recently, certain theoretical justifications and optimality results were proved for an epsilon-inflation without absolute term. In this note we show that in currently used interval iterations the epsilon-inflation without absolute term does not serve the purpose it is defined for. A new epsilon-inflation is proposed.en1573-134019983371375University of Louisiana at LafayetteMathematikJournal Article10.1023/a:1024419816707Other
