这里还有一个使用JavaScript的解决方案。我的解决方案的特点：

将空值处理为无穷大假设下限是包含的，上限是不包含的。附带一系列测试

这些测试基于整数，但由于JavaScript中的日期对象是可比较的，因此您也可以添加两个日期对象。或者您可以输入毫秒时间戳。

代码：

/**
 * Compares to comparable objects to find out whether they overlap.
 * It is assumed that the interval is in the format [from,to) (read: from is inclusive, to is exclusive).
 * A null value is interpreted as infinity
 */
function intervalsOverlap(from1, to1, from2, to2) {
    return (to2 === null || from1 < to2) && (to1 === null || to1 > from2);
}

测验：

describe('', function() {
    function generateTest(firstRange, secondRange, expected) {
        it(JSON.stringify(firstRange) + ' and ' + JSON.stringify(secondRange), function() {
            expect(intervalsOverlap(firstRange[0], firstRange[1], secondRange[0], secondRange[1])).toBe(expected);
        });
    }

    describe('no overlap (touching ends)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [20,30], false);
        generateTest([20,30], [10,20], false);

        generateTest([10,20], [20,null], false);
        generateTest([20,null], [10,20], false);

        generateTest([null,20], [20,30], false);
        generateTest([20,30], [null,20], false);
    });

    describe('do overlap (one end overlaps)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [19,30], true);
        generateTest([19,30], [10,20], true);

        generateTest([10,20], [null,30], true);
        generateTest([10,20], [19,null], true);
        generateTest([null,30], [10,20], true);
        generateTest([19,null], [10,20], true);
    });

    describe('do overlap (one range included in other range)', function() {
        generateTest([10,40], [20,30], true);
        generateTest([20,30], [10,40], true);

        generateTest([10,40], [null,null], true);
        generateTest([null,null], [10,40], true);
    });

    describe('do overlap (both ranges equal)', function() {
        generateTest([10,20], [10,20], true);

        generateTest([null,20], [null,20], true);
        generateTest([10,null], [10,null], true);
        generateTest([null,null], [null,null], true);
    });
});

使用karma&jasmine&PhantomJS运行时的结果：

PhantomJS 1.9.8（Linux）：执行20次成功（0.003秒/0.004秒）

我认为，在以下情况下，两个范围重叠就足够了：

(StartDate1 <= EndDate2) and (StartDate2 <= EndDate1)

这里是我的简化。假设时间间隔

       | |
     | |

不要重叠，xa<xb和ya<yb可以简化处理。上述条件可以简单检查。然后你会得到

      ya       yb
      |--------|
xa |--|xb
   |----|
         |----|
ya > xa => return ya - xa < xb - xa
else    => return xa < yb

正如您可能注意到的，第二个间隔仅在xa>=ya的情况下相关。

这里有一个可以在本地使用的通用方法。

    // Takes a list and returns all records that have overlapping time ranges.
    public static IEnumerable<T> GetOverlappedTimes<T>(IEnumerable<T> list, Func<T, bool> filter, Func<T,DateTime> start, Func<T, DateTime> end)
    {
        // Selects all records that match filter() on left side and returns all records on right side that overlap.
        var overlap = from t1 in list
                      where filter(t1)
                      from t2 in list
                      where !object.Equals(t1, t2) // Don't match the same record on right side.
                      let in1 = start(t1)
                      let out1 = end(t1)
                      let in2 = start(t2)
                      let out2 = end(t2)
                      where in1 <= out2 && out1 >= in2
                      let totover = GetMins(in1, out1, in2, out2)
                      select t2;

        return overlap;
    }

    public static void TestOverlap()
    {
        var tl1 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 1:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 4:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl2 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 2, Name = "John", In = "1/1/08 5:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 6:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl3 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 3, Name = "Lisa", In = "1/1/08 7:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 9:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl4 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 4, Name = "Joe", In = "1/1/08 3:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl5 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 8:01pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var list = new List<TempTimeEntry>() { tl1, tl2, tl3, tl4, tl5 };
        var overlap = GetOverlappedTimes(list, (TempTimeEntry t1)=>t1.ID==1, (TempTimeEntry tIn) => tIn.In, (TempTimeEntry tOut) => tOut.Out);

        Console.WriteLine("\nRecords overlap:");
        foreach (var tl in overlap)
            Console.WriteLine("Name:{0} T1In:{1} T1Out:{2}", tl.Name, tl.In, tl.Out);
        Console.WriteLine("Done");

        /*  Output:
            Records overlap:
            Name:Joe T1In:1/1/2008 3:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 8:00:00 PM
            Name:Lisa T1In:1/1/2008 7:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 9:00:00 PM
            Done
         */
    }

如果重叠本身也需要计算，可以使用以下公式：

overlap = max(0, min(EndDate1, EndDate2) - max(StartDate1, StartDate2))
if (overlap > 0) { 
    ...
}

将问题分为几个案例，然后处理每个案例。

“两个日期范围相交”的情况有两种情况：第一个日期范围从第二个开始，或者第二个日期范围在第一个开始。
