• Time discretization – Spectral Methods
– Stability of continuous and semi-Discrete problems
– An example of a fully discrete system (Euler/Legendre collocation)
– Eigenspectra of derivative operators – von Neuman stability
– Common time-stepping methods (multi-step, multi-stage, integrating factos, and
strong-preserving stability)
