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
