Abstract

Krylov subspace spectral methods have been shown to be high-order accurate in time and more stable than explicit time-stepping methods, but also more difficult to implement efficiently. This paper describes how these methods can be fashioned into practical solvers by exploiting the simple structure of differential operators Numerical results concerning accuracy and efficiency are presented for parabolic problems in one and two space dimensions.
