Abstract

It is well known that spectral approximations of hyperbolic time-dependent equations can lead to incoherent results in the case where the solution is discontinuous. However, it has been proved that the spectral coefficients of the approximation are computed precisely. In this article we present and analyze a class of filters that allows the recovering of the solution with an exponential accuracy.
