Abstract
The numerical approximation of solutions to differential equations is of paramount importance in science and engineering, and there is a subclass of problems, namely ordinary differential equations, for which the field has reached a certain maturity. This is much less so for partial differential equa tions, for which the theory about existence of solutions is also much less complete.
