Abstract

The computational methods of numerical analysis are growing more and more important in modern-day scientific research. Among the wide variety of numerical algorithms, the pseudo-spectral differentiation technique is gaining increasing popularity. In this paper, we focus on the application of this algorithm in planar domains with an irregular boundary contour. We present a novel approach to differentiate functions on a triangular domain using pseudo-spectral differentiation. We apply this method to a triangular mesh of a planar domain with irregular contour and validate the effectiveness of our approach through numerical experiments.
