[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/rangeflow.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/rangeflow)

**RangeFlow** is a revolutionary Python library for **interval arithmetic in AI systems**. It enables you to:
- ✅ **Certify** neural networks against adversarial attacks
- ✅ **Quantify** uncertainty in predictions mathematically
- ✅ **Train** models that are provably robust to noise
- ✅ **Verify** safety properties of AI systems
- ✅ **Eliminate catastrophic forgetting** in continual learning
- ✅ **Formal verification** with mathematical guarantees

Unlike standard deep learning where you process single values, RangeFlow propagates **intervals** [min, max] through networks, giving you **mathematical guarantees** about worst-case behavior.

---

## 🌟 Why RangeFlow?

### The Problem

Standard AI models are **fragile**:
```python
# Standard model
model(image) → "Cat" (99% confident)

# Add tiny noise (invisible to humans)
model(image + 0.001 * noise) → "Dog" (98% confident)  # WRONG!
```

**Standard uncertainty metrics** (like softmax probabilities) are **overconfident and misleading**.

### The RangeFlow Solution

Treat every value as a **range of possibilities**:
```python
# RangeFlow model
x_robust = RangeTensor.from_epsilon_ball(image, epsilon=0.001)
y_range = model(x_robust)

# Get certified bounds
min_pred, max_pred = y_range.decay()

# Now you KNOW: "For ANY perturbation ≤ 0.001, prediction stays 'Cat'"
```

## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)

### Installation

```bash
pip install rangeflow
```

For GPU acceleration (optional):
```bash
pip install cupy-cuda12x  # For CUDA 12.x
```

### Your First Robust Model

```python
import rangeflow as rf
import torch

# 1. Create uncertain input (sensor noise ±0.1)
x = torch.randn(1, 784)
x_range = rf.RangeTensor.from_epsilon_ball(x, epsilon=0.1)

# 2. Build a robust model
from rangeflow.layers import RangeLinear, RangeReLU

model = torch.nn.Sequential(
    RangeLinear(784, 128),
    RangeReLU(),
    RangeLinear(128, 10)
)

# 3. Forward pass propagates uncertainty
y_range = model(x_range)

# 4. Get guaranteed output bounds
min_out, max_out = y_range.decay()

print(f"Output guaranteed in [{min_out}, {max_out}]")
print(f"Uncertainty width: {max_out - min_out}")
```

**That's it!** You now have **mathematically certified** bounds on your output.

---

## 📚 Core Concepts

### 1. **RangeTensor**: The Foundation

A `RangeTensor` represents an **interval** [min, max] of possible values:

```python
# Three ways to create ranges
x1 = rf.RangeTensor.from_range(1.0, 2.0)  # Explicit [1, 2]
x2 = rf.RangeTensor.from_epsilon_ball(5.0, 0.1)  # [4.9, 5.1]
x3 = rf.RangeTensor.from_array(torch.tensor([3.0]))  # Degenerate [3, 3]
```

### 2. **Domain Constraints** (NEW in v0.4.0)

Automatically handle physical constraints:

```python
from rangeflow.verification import DomainConstraints

# Image domain - automatically clips to [0, 1]
domain = DomainConstraints.image_domain(bit_depth=1)
x_range = domain.create_epsilon_ball(image, epsilon=0.3)
# No more negative pixels!
```

### 3. **Linear Bound Propagation** (NEW in v0.4.0)

CROWN-style symbolic bounds for 30% tighter verification:

```python
from rangeflow.linear_bounds import enable_linear_bounds, hybrid_verification

# Enable on your model
enable_linear_bounds(model)

# Verify with tighter bounds
is_verified, margin, method = hybrid_verification(
    model, image, epsilon=0.3, use_linear=True
)
```

### 4. **RangeNorm**: The Stabilizer

Deep networks cause **exponential uncertainty growth**:

```python
from rangeflow.layers import RangeLayerNorm

# Normalizes both center AND width
norm = RangeLayerNorm(128)
x_stable = norm(x_range)  # Width stays controlled!
```

### 5. **Continual Learning** (NEW in v0.4.0)

Zero forgetting with interval weights:

```python
from rangeflow.continual import ContinualLinear, save_task_memory, elastic_memory_loss

# Build model with interval weights
model = torch.nn.Sequential(
    ContinualLinear(784, 256, mode='full'),
    RangeReLU(),
    ContinualLinear(256, 10, mode='full')
)

# Train Task A
train(model, task_A_data)
memory_A = save_task_memory(model)

# Train Task B (preserves A automatically!)
for data, target in task_B_loader:
    loss_B = cross_entropy(model(data), target)
    loss_elastic = elastic_memory_loss(model, memory_A['weights'])
    total_loss = loss_B + loss_elastic
    total_loss.backward()
```

```

### Example 2: Continual Learning System

```python
from rangeflow.continual import ContinualLinear, save_task_memory, elastic_memory_loss

# Build continual learning model
model = torch.nn.Sequential(
    ContinualLinear(784, 256, mode='full'),

```

### Example 3: Formal Verification Pipeline

```python

    BranchAndBound, DomainConstraints, 
    VerificationCertificate, verify_model_batch
)
from rangeflow.linear_bounds import enable_linear_bounds

## 📊 Advanced Usage

### Hybrid Models (Partial Interval Weights)

For large models, use intervals only where needed:

```python
from rangeflow.continual import ContinualLinear

# Option 1: Layer-by-layer control
model = torch.nn.Sequential(
    ContinualLinear(784, 512, mode='mu_only'),      # Standard weights
    RangeReLU(),
    ContinualLinear(512, 256, mode='hybrid', hybrid_ratio=0.5),  # 50% intervals
    RangeReLU(),
    ContinualLinear(256, 10, mode='full')            # Full intervals
)

# Option 2: Use builder
from rangeflow.continual import HybridModelBuilder

builder = HybridModelBuilder()
model = builder.build_mlp(
    [784, 512, 256, 10],
    interval_ratios=[0.0, 0.5, 1.0]  # 0%, 50%, 100%
)
```

**Benefits:**
- 50% memory reduction
- Faster training
- Critical layers still robust

### Custom Verification Domains

```python
from rangeflow.verification import DomainConstraints

# Temperature sensor (Kelvin, must be positive)
temp_domain = DomainConstraints(
    min_val=0.0, max_val=None, name='Temperature'
)

# Normalized features (z-score)
norm_domain = DomainConstraints(
    min_val=-3.0, max_val=3.0, name='Standardized'
)

# Probability distribution
prob_domain = DomainConstraints.probability_domain()
```

### Resumable Training

```python
from rangeflow.advanced_train import StatefulEpsilonScheduler, CheckpointManager

scheduler = StatefulEpsilonScheduler('linear', 0.0, 0.5, 100)
manager = CheckpointManager('./checkpoints', keep_best=3)

for epoch in range(100):
    eps = scheduler.step()
    
    # Train...
    train_loss = train_epoch(model, train_loader, eps)
    
    # Save checkpoint with scheduler state
    manager.save(
        model, optimizer, scheduler, epoch,
        metrics={'train_loss': train_loss, 'epsilon': eps}
    )

# Resume later
checkpoint = manager.load_latest()
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])
scheduler.load_state_dict(checkpoint['scheduler_state_dict'])
# Continues from correct epoch with correct epsilon!
```

## 🎓 Mathematical Foundations

### Interval Arithmetic Basics

**Standard arithmetic:**
```
x = 5, y = 3
x + y = 8  (single value)
```

**Range arithmetic:**
```
x ∈ [4, 6], y ∈ [2, 4]
x + y ∈ [6, 10]  (all possible sums)
```

### Core Operations

| **Operation** | **Formula** |
|--------------|-------------|
| Addition | [a,b] + [c,d] = [a+c, b+d] |
| Subtraction | [a,b] - [c,d] = [a-d, b-c] |
| Multiplication | [a,b] × [c,d] = [min(ac,ad,bc,bd), max(...)] |
| ReLU | ReLU([a,b]) = [max(0,a), max(0,b)] |
| Matrix Mul | Uses monotonicity shortcut (O(n³) not O(2ⁿn³)) |

### Linear Bound Propagation (CROWN)

Instead of propagating concrete intervals [min, max], we propagate **linear functions**:

```
Lower bound: y_lower ≥ W_L @ x + b_L
Upper bound: y_upper ≤ W_U @ x + b_U
```

This maintains **variable dependencies** and produces **30% tighter bounds**.

### Continual Learning Mathematics

**Problem:** Standard training overwrites weights:
```
Task A: learns w = 0.5
Task B: learns w = 0.9  → Task A forgotten!
```

**RangeFlow solution:** Learn safe intervals:
```
Task A: certifies w ∈ [0.4, 0.6]
Task B: finds w = 0.55 ∈ [0.4, 0.6]  → Task A preserved!
```

**Elastic Memory Loss:**
```python
L_elastic = Σ max(0, curr_min - old_max) + max(0, old_min - curr_max)
```

If intervals overlap → zero loss. If they separate → penalize gap.
