The interval 15/11, known most frequently as undecimal augmented fourth, is the difference between the 11th and 15th partials of the harmonic series. It is 536.95 cents wide, exactly 45/44 larger than a perfect fourth, and almost exactly a sixth-tone sharper than a 12edo fourth. It is narrower than 11/8 by exactly 121/120, and is wider than 27/20 by exactly 100/99, and, in reference to both of these aspects, it can also be called the undecimal wide acute fourth. 15/11 can be called a superfourth, as it falls between the interval categories of perfect fourth and tritone. 4 steps of 9edo is an excellent approximation for 15/11.
