Information Based Numerical Practice.

Abstract

The paper is a survey of some aspects of information based selection of numerical methods. Some theoretical ideas on how to deal with uncertain information are discussed and the example of an universal quadrature formula is introduced. Certain aspects of the selection of finite element method and adaptive mesh construction are discussed. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical aspects. Keywords: Mathematical analysis; Computations.
