when plot()ing, where can i call .lower() and .upper() in order to get the band of uncertainty?

Let's define

idk = v_ges_rhs.subs({
                d_e : RIF(.999,1.001),
                x : -.25,
                d_m : RIF(.05,.15),
                e_m : e_0 * RIF(80.5,81.5),
                e_s : e_0 * RIF(3,4)
               })

This is a symbolic expression containing RIF numbers and the only symbolic variable is d_k.

At any point in the interval we can evaluate it to a symbolic expression which is just a RIF number, e.g.

sage: idk.subs({d_k : 0.2})
-1.?e10

Unfortunately we cannot call .upper() on this directly, because there is still a symbolic wrapper around it:

sage: type(idk.subs({d_k : 0.2}))
<type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>

To remove the wrapper, we use conversion to RIF:

sage: RIF(idk.subs({d_k : 0.2}))
-1.?e10
sage: RIF(idk.subs({d_k : 0.2})).upper()
-6.57758536841850e9
sage: RIF(idk.subs({d_k : 0.2})).lower()
-8.63461563768822e9

We can define functions which do this at a given point

f = lambda x: idk.subs({d_k: x})
f_lower = lambda x: RIF(idk.subs({d_k : x})).lower()
f_upper = lambda x: RIF(idk.subs({d_k : x})).upper()

and plot them:

plot([f, f_lower, f_upper],(x,0.2,0.99), color=['blue', 'red', 'green'])
