abstract = {Effective field theories encode the predictions of a
quantum field theory at low energy. The effective theory has
a fairly low ultraviolet cutoff. As a result, loop
corrections are small, at least if the effective action
contains a term which is quadratic in the fields, and
physical predictions can be read straight from the effective
Lagrangean. Methods will be discussed how to compute an
effective low energy action from a given fundamental action,
either analytically or numerically, or by a combination of
both methods. Basically,the idea is to integrate out the
high frequency components of fields. This requires the
choice of a 'blockspin',i.e. the specification of a low
frequency field as a function of the fundamental fields.
These blockspins will be the fields of the effective field
theory. The blockspin need not be a field of the same type
as one of the fundamental fields, and it may be composite.
Special features of blockspins in nonabelian gauge theories
will be discussed in some detail. In analytical work and in
multigrid updating schemes one needs interpolation kernels
$\mathcal A$ from coarse to fine grid in addition to the
averaging kernels $C$ which determines the blockspin. A
neural net strategy for finding optimal kernels is
presented. Numerical methods are applicable to obtain
actions of effective theories on lattices of finite volume.
The constraint effective potential) is of particular
interest. In a Higgs model it yields the free energy,
considered as a function of a gauge covariant magnetization.
Its shape determines the phase structure of the theory. Its
loop expansion with and without gauge fields can be used to
determine finite size corrections to numerical data.},
