Acknowledgements<br />

First I owe a great debt of gratitude to Walter Zulehner, not only for advising my thesis<br />

but for arousing my interest and deepening my understanding in the scientific field I am<br />

currently working in.<br />

I would also like to thank Ulrich Langer who, as leader of the project and head of the<br />

institute I am employed in, provided me with scientific and financial background, and who<br />

made constructive suggestions on many details of this thesis, and I want to thank Arnold<br />

Reusken for co-refereeing this dissertation.<br />

Special thanks go to Ferdinand Kickinger who supplied me with industrial test cases<br />

and with whom I had some very fruitful discussions, and to all other people who are<br />

responsible for some aspects of this thesis by “asking the right questions”.<br />

This work has been supported by the Austrian Science Foundation “Fonds zur Förderung<br />

der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF)” under the grant P14953 “Robust Algebraic<br />
