Everything about Spectral method

Class of methods used in numerical analysis and scientific computing to solve ODE/PDE

Spectral methods are a class of techniques used in applied mathematics and scientific computing to numerically solve certain differential equations. The idea is to write the solution of the differential equation as a sum of certain "basis functions" and then to choose the coefficients in the sum in order to satisfy the differential equation as well as possible.
