Chebyshev/Lagrange polynomials in spectral methods

I am currently trying to familiarise myself with (Pseudo-)Spectral Methods for solving differential equations. Now, I am struggling to understand some obviously crucial concept of this approach. The ...

schrodinger eq time propagation with dissipation using split step operator

I am looking in ways to include energy dissipation while propagating a coherent wavepacket in a 1d TDSE. for example I use the split step method: exp[Δt(D+V)]≈exp[ΔtV/2]exp[ΔtD]exp[ΔtV/2], and ...

Well-conditioned pseudospectral for computing eigenvalues to (partial) differential equations

I am working on writing a Chebyshev pseudospectral method (see for example "Chebsyhev and Fourier spectral methods" by John Boyd) to solve for the eigenvalues of differential equations of ...
