The feature of affine arithmetic is that it keeps the correlation between variables(input and intermediate variables), unlike interval arithmetic. Affine arithmetic is superior to interval arithmetic in point of providing tighter intervals. Therefore the algorithm using affine arithmetic can remove the nonexistent regions of the solution more efficiently than using interval arithmetic. Some numerical examples show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.} }
