Pseudospectral methods:
The book Spectral Methods in MATLAB by L. N. Trefethen motivated me to get into pseudospectral methods by myself and I managed to implement a code for the simulation of self-assembled quantum dot growth. Anyhow, first steps with such methods - i.e. when dealing with more than one spatial dimension - might appear complicated, so I decided to post a presentation, where the pseudospectral method based on the MATLAB FFT is explained on several examples. It is an informal, comprehensible introduction to the method (and also to finite difference methods) which I held at the WIAS PhD student's seminar (I updated it and deleted some minor mistakes since then). It shows how to implement the method for problems like a simple Allen-Cahn equation, the Cahn-Hilliard equation or related on periodic domains with smooth interfaces. Some of the MATLAB example codes mentioned in the talk are also available:
diffusion.m , diffusion2d_euler.m, diffusion2d_psm.m, diffusion2d_euler_impl.m, sd_vs_fd.m, trilap.m
