The state identification model with only bounded errors is a typical constraints satisfaction problem
and variables and constraints can all be presented in the form of intervals. Thus
interval analysis can be adopted to solve this constraints satisfaction problem. The conventional interval constraints propagation method is first proposed to solve this model. However
the results are locally consistent and have conservative character to a large extent. To deal with this problem
the improved interval constraints propagation method is proposed. On one hand
monotonicity is introduced to an interval constraints propagation algorithm
which can effectively eliminate the conservative character resulting from the many times' appearance of monotone variables. On the other hand
by increasing redundant constraints
the original constraint sets are extended
which can eliminate the conservative character resulting from the local consistency of interval constraints propagation algorithm to a great extent.
