Review text

The paper extends the cell discretization algorithms, proposed by the author [SIAM J. Sci. Stat. Comput. 3, 261-288 (1982; Zbl 0483.65066)] for selfadjoint elliptic partial differential equations to non-selfadjoint equations. After developing the formulae, the benefits of the method are demonstrated in several examples. A special advantage is the ability to calculate almost all computations independently cell-by-cell, rendering this method very suitable for parallelizing. A number of indications regarding the numerical algorithms used are also given. May the author's hope of the absence of ``insurmountable new difficulties in proving the convergence in the non-selfadjoint case be fulfilled.
