Compensated Horner Scheme

Abstract
Using error-free transformations, we improve the classic Horner Scheme (HS) to evaluate (univariate) polynomials in floating point arithmetic. We prove that this Compensated Horner Scheme (CHS) is as accurate as HS performed with twice the working precision. Theoretical analysis and experiments exhibit a reasonable running time overhead being also more interesting than double-double implementations. We introduce a dynamic and validated error bound of the CHS computed value. The talk presents these results together with a survey about error-free transformations and related hypothesis.
