Talk:Spectral element method

Merge?

Do not merge. The concepts are sufficiently distinct. Twbaroberts (talk) 21:30, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a low quality article. I removed most of the stuff which was not quite right and what's left is a stub. I think it would probably be best to simply merge it into finite element method.

Removed the statement: "The only relationship it has with the spectral method is its good convergence properties." It is related to the multidomain Chebyshev psuedospectral method, so I don't think this statement is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.151.113.182 (talk) 05:01, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

p-version and h-p version fem

Added a short note. But these would deserve their own article... Jmath666 (talk) 06:23, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to Lee (Spectral Element Method in Structural Dynamics, 2009, p. 6), spectral element method in a form that is presented by Patera 1984, is only a class of finite element method. In the spectral element method, as it is understood currently, the idea is to formulate problem in a frequency domain, solve it, and then transform it into time domain using inverse of FFT. In the current form, this article is low quality and should be merged(away).
