Zhichao raises the issue of the representation of NaN (Not a Number) in VHDL-AMS. The issue has been first raised in the Vector/Matrix Operation project. This may affect the core language definition, so a WG discussion is required.

Zhichao also raises the issue of the numerical validation of interpolation/extrapolation algorithms (tolerances, accuracy, reference values).
