The purpose of this conference series is to bring together researchers and practioners with an interest in the theoretical, computational and applied aspects of high-order and spectral methods for the solution of differential equations. Subjects include, but are not limited to
- spectral methods
- high-order finite difference methods
- p-type finite element methods
- h-p finite element methods
- discontinuous Galerkin methods
- ENO/WENO methods
- high order methods for integral equations
- wavelet-based methods
- stochastic methods
- efficient solvers and preconditioners for high order methods
- efficient time-stepping methods
- parallel and computational aspects
Examples of applications can be found in
- electromagnetics
- fluid mechanics
- structural mechanics
- quantum mechanics
- climate modelling
- image processing
