An Alternative Formulation of Controlled Rounding

Written by:
RR88-01

Abstract

In this report we introduce a technique for controlled rounding which allows a non-zero multiple of the base to either increase or decrease by the value of the base. In the more standard definition of controlled rounding a non-zero multiple of the base can increase but not decrease. We display the step-by-step procedure for finding controlled roundings under this new definition and contrast this procedure with the more standard methods.
