Abstract
This paper considers incorporating a hull-consistency enforcing procedure in an interval branch-and-prune method. Hull-consistency has been used with interval algorithms in several solvers, but its implementation in a multithreaded environment is non-trivial. We describe arising issues and discuss the ways to deal with them. Numerical results for some benchmark problems are presented and analyzed.
