Review text

The present paper seems to be a key contribution in the design of numerical methods meant to solve problems in fluid mechanics. Its rough contents is as follows: 1. Introduction, 2. Evolution-Galerkin and generalized Godunov schemes, 3. Accuracy on nonuniform meshes and 4. Conclusions. The author opens a new way in the error analysis of some Galerkin type methods (evolution, Lagrange, characteristic). He efficiently uses Godunov's idea which in fact provides a natural decomposition of the truncation error. At the same time he considers some evolutionary problems dominated by hyperbolic phenomena which come from meteorology, aerodynamics and electromagnetics.
