You seem too fixated on how your group does things. In my group (computational) we do make use of rigorous results, such as the guarantee that metadynamics converges asymptotically, or the simple fact that certain algorithms scale like O(n^a). We don't just blindly use any numerical solver, we do pick the ones that are known to work better.Arsenic&Lace said:Nope, not trolling; you really can't make useful predictions about performance in the real world using pure mathematics.
