Abstract

We investigate Fourier collocation approximations of the evolutionary twodimensional Burgers equation. The numerical schemes are not required to be semi-conservative. We obtain stability estimates in theH 1(Ω) norm that are uniform in time. Our results show that collocation techniques do not yield instability, at least if the resolution is fine enough.
