Abstract

The superconsistent collocation method, which is based on acollocation grid different from the one used to represent thesolution, has proven to be very accurate in the resolution ofvarious functional equations. Excellent results can be alsoobtained for what concerns preconditioning. Some analysis andnumerous experiments, regarding the use of finite-differencespreconditioners, for matrices arising from pseudospectralapproximations of advection-diffusion boundary value problems, arepresented and discussed, both in the case of Legendre andChebyshev representation nodes.
