Description
Summary:Due to its reasonable properties, the Kulisch and Miranker binary relation on the family of all closed and bounded real intervals has attracted the attention of many researchers, especially in the field of Computation. However, it is not total, so there are intervals that are not comparable. To face this problem, Bustince et al. introduced the notion of admissible order, which is coherent to the Kulisch and Miranker binary relation. Due to its technical construction, most of the examples of admissible orders are defined by only employing the extremes of such intervals. In this paper we introduce a non-countable family of admissible orders in the set of all closed and bounded subintervals contained in a concrete closed and bounded real interval. The approach is novel in two senses: on the one hand, due to the mathematical objects that are involved (a dense sequence and a family of continuous functions); and, on the other hand, we do not handle the intervals through their extremes, but only by their interior points.
