我找到了另一个非常简单的方法。如果daterange1的开始和结束日期在daterange2的开始日期之前，或者daterange3的开始和终止日期在daterange2的结束日期之后，这意味着它们彼此不相交。

public boolean doesIntersect(DateRangeModel daterange1, DateRangeModel  daterange2) {
    return !(
            (daterange1.getStartDate().isBefore(daterange2.getStartDate())
                    && daterange1.getEndDate().isBefore(daterange2.getStartDate())) ||
                    (daterange1.getStartDate().isAfter(daterange2.getStartDate())
                            && daterange1.getEndDate().isAfter(daterange2.getEndDate())));
}

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
         */
    }

我认为，在以下情况下，两个范围重叠就足够了：

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

在Microsoft SQL SERVER中-SQL函数

CREATE FUNCTION IsOverlapDates 
(
    @startDate1 as datetime,
    @endDate1 as datetime,
    @startDate2 as datetime,
    @endDate2 as datetime
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Overlap as int
SET @Overlap = (SELECT CASE WHEN  (
        (@startDate1 BETWEEN @startDate2 AND @endDate2) -- caters for inner and end date outer
        OR
        (@endDate1 BETWEEN @startDate2 AND @endDate2) -- caters for inner and start date outer
        OR
        (@startDate2 BETWEEN @startDate1 AND @endDate1) -- only one needed for outer range where dates are inside.
        ) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
    )
    RETURN @Overlap

END
GO

--Execution of the above code
DECLARE @startDate1 as datetime
DECLARE @endDate1 as datetime
DECLARE @startDate2 as datetime
DECLARE @endDate2 as datetime
DECLARE @Overlap as int
SET @startDate1 = '2014-06-01 01:00:00' 
SET @endDate1 =   '2014-06-01 02:00:00'
SET @startDate2 = '2014-06-01 01:00:00' 
SET @endDate2 =   '2014-06-01 01:30:00'

SET @Overlap = [dbo].[IsOverlapDates]  (@startDate1, @endDate1, @startDate2, @endDate2)

SELECT Overlap = @Overlap

@Bretana给出的数学解很好，但忽略了两个具体细节：

封闭或半开放间隔的方面空间隔

关于区间边界的封闭或开放状态，@Bretana的解对封闭区间有效

（起点A<=终点B）和（终点A>=起点B）

可以重写为半开间隔：

（开始A<结束B）和（结束A>开始B）

这种校正是必要的，因为根据定义，开放区间边界不属于区间的值范围。

关于空间隔，这里上面所示的关系不成立。根据定义不包含任何有效值的空间隔必须作为特殊情况处理。我通过Java时间库Time4J通过以下示例进行了演示：

MomentInterval a = MomentInterval.between(Instant.now(), Instant.now().plusSeconds(2));
MomentInterval b = a.collapse(); // make b an empty interval out of a

System.out.println(a); // [2017-04-10T05:28:11,909000000Z/2017-04-10T05:28:13,909000000Z)
System.out.println(b); // [2017-04-10T05:28:11,909000000Z/2017-04-10T05:28:11,909000000Z)

前导方括号“[”表示封闭的开始，而最后一个括号“）”表示开放的结束。

System.out.println(
      "startA < endB: " + a.getStartAsInstant().isBefore(b.getEndAsInstant())); // false
System.out.println(
      "endA > startB: " + a.getEndAsInstant().isAfter(b.getStartAsInstant())); // true

System.out.println("a overlaps b: " + a.intersects(b)); // a overlaps b: false

如上所示，空间隔违反了上面的重叠条件（尤其是startA<endB），因此Time4J（以及其他库）必须将其作为特殊的边缘情况来处理，以确保任何任意间隔与空间隔的重叠都不存在。当然，日期间隔（默认情况下在Time4J中是关闭的，但也可以是半开的，就像空日期间隔一样）的处理方式类似。

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。
