The GAMM Committee for "Efficient Numerical Methods for Partial
Differential Equations" organizes workshops on subjects concerning the
algorithmical treat- ment of partial differential equations. The topics
are discretization methods like the finite element and finite volume
method for various types of applications in structural and fluid
mechanics. Particular attention is devoted to advanced solu- tion
techniques. th The series of such workshops was continued in 1993,
January 22-24, with the 9 Kiel-Seminar on the special topic "Adaptive
Methods Algorithms, Theory and Applications" at the
Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel. The seminar was attended by 76
scientists from 7 countries and 23 lectures were given. The list of
topics contained general lectures on adaptivity, special discretization
schemes, error estimators, space-time adaptivity, adaptive solvers,
multi-grid me- thods, wavelets, and parallelization. Special thanks are
due to Michael Heisig, who carefully compiled the contribu- tions to
this volume. November 1993 Wolfgang Hackbusch Gabriel Wittum v Contents
