使用momentjs的简短回答：

function isOverlapping(startDate1, endDate1, startDate2, endDate2){ 
    return moment(startDate1).isSameOrBefore(endDate2) && 
    moment(startDate2).isSameOrBefore(endDate1);
}

答案基于上述答案，但缩短了。

public static class NumberExtensionMethods
    {
        public static Boolean IsBetween(this Int64 value, Int64 Min, Int64 Max)
        {
            if (value >= Min && value <= Max) return true;
            else return false;
        }

        public static Boolean IsBetween(this DateTime value, DateTime Min, DateTime Max)
        {
            Int64 numricValue = value.Ticks;
            Int64 numericStartDate = Min.Ticks;
            Int64 numericEndDate = Max.Ticks;

            if (numricValue.IsBetween(numericStartDate, numericEndDate) )
            {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
    }

public static Boolean IsOverlap(DateTime startDate1, DateTime endDate1, DateTime startDate2, DateTime endDate2)
        {
            Int64 numericStartDate1 = startDate1.Ticks;
            Int64 numericEndDate1 = endDate1.Ticks;
            Int64 numericStartDate2 = startDate2.Ticks;
            Int64 numericEndDate2 = endDate2.Ticks;

            if (numericStartDate2.IsBetween(numericStartDate1, numericEndDate1) ||
                numericEndDate2.IsBetween(numericStartDate1, numericEndDate1) ||
                numericStartDate1.IsBetween(numericStartDate2, numericEndDate2) ||
                numericEndDate1.IsBetween(numericStartDate2, numericEndDate2))
            {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        } 


if (IsOverlap(startdate1, enddate1, startdate2, enddate2))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("IsOverlap");
            }

这是我的Java解决方案，它也适用于无限区间

private Boolean overlap (Timestamp startA, Timestamp endA,
                         Timestamp startB, Timestamp endB)
{
    return (endB == null || startA == null || !startA.after(endB))
        && (endA == null || startB == null || !endA.before(startB));
}

我遇到过这样的情况，我们有日期而不是日期时间，并且日期只能在开始/结束时重叠。示例如下：

（绿色是当前间隔，蓝色块是有效间隔，红色块是重叠间隔）。

我将Ian Nelson的答案改编为以下解决方案：

   (startB <= startA && endB > startA)
|| (startB >= startA && startB < endA)

这匹配所有重叠情况，但忽略允许的重叠情况。

只要有简单的解决方案，仅仅使用额外的包来做简单的事情可能效率不高。但是，如果您已经在项目中使用了日期fns，那么有一个名为areIntervalsOverlapping的方法也会执行同样的操作。

语法：

areIntervalsOverlapping(intervalLeft, intervalRight, [options])

例子：

// For overlapping time intervals:
areIntervalsOverlapping(
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 10), end: new Date(2014, 0, 20) },
  { start: new Date(2014, 0, 17), end: new Date(2014, 0, 21) }
)
//=> true

对于ruby，我也发现了这一点：

class Interval < ActiveRecord::Base

  validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date

  # Check if a given interval overlaps this interval    
  def overlaps?(other)
    (start_date - other.end_date) * (other.start_date - end_date) >= 0
  end

  # Return a scope for all interval overlapping the given interval, including the given interval itself
  named_scope :overlapping, lambda { |interval| {
    :conditions => ["id <> ? AND (DATEDIFF(start_date, ?) * DATEDIFF(?, end_date)) >= 0", interval.id, interval.end_date, interval.start_date]
  }}

end
