Spectral collocation methods

Abstract This review covers the theory and application of spectral collocation methods. Section 1 describes the fundamentals, and summarizes results pertaining to spectral approximations of functions. Some stability and convergence results are presented for simple elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations. Applications of these methods to fluid dynamics problems are discussed in Section 2.
