Energy related mathematical models: Annotated bibliography

The evaluation of various options for energy sources, energy conversion, and efficient use of energy has led to the use of computer-based mathematical models. To insure that these models are reasonably accurate representations of the situation being studied, it is desirable to have available information concerning the analysis of error propagation in mathematical models when implemented on computers.

As an aid to energy model builders who seek methods of analysis for their own work, as well as to provide a helpful guide for the research computer scientists working on the development of new methods for analysis of propagation of error, a classification scheme of error propagation methods is presented and an annotated bibliography of energy-related mathematical models classified by validation and error analysis methods is provided.
