Real numbers are usually represented in the computer as hexadecimal floating point numbers with finite digits. Accordingly the numerical analysis is often suffered from rounding errors. The rounding errors particularly deteriorate the precision of numerical solution in inverse and ill-posed problems. We attempt to use a multiple-precision arithmetic for reducing the rounding error evil. In this paper we try to show effectiveness of the multiple-precision arithmetic by taking three typical examples; the Cauchy problem of the Laplace equation in two dimensions, the backward heat conduction problem in two dimensions, and the shape identification problem by inverse scattering in three dimensions. It is concluded from a few numerical examples that the multiple-precision arithmetic works well on the resolution of those numerical solutions, as it is combined with an arbitrary grid spectral method for the Cauchy problem and the backward heat conduction problem, and with the eigenfunction expansion method for the inverse scattering problem.
