Following Trefethen et al.
, differential operators are approximated as rectangular matrices.
Boundary conditions add additional rows that turn them into square matrices.
These can then be diagonalized using standard linear algebra methods.
After studying various simple model problems, this method is applied to the Orr–Sommerfeld equation, deriving results originally due to Orszag.
The difficulties of pushing spectral methods to higher dimensions are outlined.
