An extension of spectral methods to quasi-periodic and multiscale problems. (English) Zbl 0874.65075

An extension of spectral methods to quasi-periodic and multiscale problems is given. It is proposed to change the number of space dimensions which is then multiplied by the number of different scales occuring in the problem. In the higher-dimensional space the problem is a standard periodic problem. The method is validated using the Burgers equation and the two-dimensional linearized Navier-Stokes equation. It is compared with standard spectral or pseudo-spectral methods. The gain in storage and CPU resources is typically proportional to the ratio of scales.
