Single-Grid Spectral Collocation for the Navier-Stokes Equations

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to study a collocation spectral method to approximate the Navier-Stokes equations: only one grid is used, which is built from the nodes of a Gauss-Lobatto quadrature formula, either of Legendre or of Chebyshev type. The convergence is proved for the Stokes problem provided with inhomogeneus Dirichlet conditions, then thoroughly analysed for the Navier-Stokes equations. The practical implementation algorithm is presented, together with numerical results.
