Sorry, I meant the abs only for the first two, like:

    VERIFY( abs(extrema_min - limits_min) < epsilon );
    VERIFY( abs(limits_min - extrema_min) < epsilon );

But the second two still seem not ok. Something like this should be needed:

    VERIFY( (extrema_max / limits_max) < (1 + epsilon) &&
                       (extrema_max / limits_max) > (1 - epsilon));

    VERIFY( (limits_max / extrema_max) < (1 + epsilon) &&
                       (limits_max / extrema_max) > (1 - epsilon));
