Review text

The basic idea of this (strange?) survey paper is the evolution principle. In the first part the evolution of computational fluid dynamics problems is computed from the Boltzmann equation by means of lattice kinetic methods that are extended to general partial differential equation problems. The second part discusses genetic algorithms for nonlinear parameter estimation and neural networks. The third part discusses artificial ecosystems (with genetic algorithms). All these algorithms parallelize in a natural way. My opinion: All these (very robust) methods are extremely expensive in comparison to ``direct solution methods.
