Abstract

In this chapter, we will briefly review some popular numerical methods widely used in practice. Of course it is not a comprehensive collection. We will demonstrate certain methods that are simple and widely used or, in our opinion, interesting and promising both theoretically and numerically. We observe that most of these methods have not been justified and in some cases even not rigorously tested numerically.
