Spectral Methods
Spectral Methods are high-order numerical techniques for solving differential equations using global polynomial expansions (e.g., Fourier or Legendre series) rather than local piecewise polynomials. Developed by Steven Orszag in the 1960s for turbulence simulation, they offer exponential convergence for smooth problems, making them ideal for scientific computing when solution regularity is high.
