Improve the product of TaylorModels

[ulinares]

This PR implements the product of TaylorModel's product as discussed in #80.

LGTM. Thanks!

@mforets Do you have any comments on this PR?

[mforets]

I don't have further comments about the implementation, looks good to me 🎉

About the evaluation of the new method, it would be interesting to run the ARCH-NLN RE on TaylorModels#master and on this branch, and compare the accuacy measures such as the width of the final states. (This is now quite easy to setup since all results are stored in result/results.csv.)

I don't know for sure but maybe there is a difference only in models handling "small" numbers; in that sense, the Production-Destruction model is a good candidate.

It seems a good suggestion to me; can you check that, @UzielLinares ?

I've checked out the suggested for the ProductionDestrucion model and found the following

This new implementation of the product takes 1.17x compared to the implementation on master.
Additionally, I've tested the discussed on issue #80 and found that the improvement in the bound is very small (of order 10^-14).

[lbenet]

Though ~20% slower run times is not too bad, the actual improvement of the remainder using the proposed changes is not actually seen. My guess is that the changes may be seen for larger boxes.

I propose to leave this PR open, and try to speed up the functions involved, probably in IntervalArithmetics.jl.

thanks for checking !

sounds good to me. i'd also like to play a bit with the new method. we could benchmark remainder_product(a, b, aux, Δnegl) in isolation.

[lbenet]

Another option is to run the benchmark suite in master and this branch, and check how different the results are with respect to time and also the final remainders. But this may be time consuming.
