Review text

This paper examines approximate equidistributing principles for two moving finite element problems, steady-state and transient, related to a simple transport equation. After showing that these principles are too weak to distinguish between alternative node distributions, stronger distributing principles are derived in order to determine the asymptotic node distribution uniquely. Two test problems are solved numerically.
