Abstract

The Fast Fourier Transform is extended to functions on finite graphs whose edges are identified with intervals of finite length. Spectral and pseudospectral methods are developed to solve a wide variety of time dependent partial differential equations on domains which are modeled as networks of one dimensional segments joined at nodes.

Comments

The new version includes a pseudospectral algorithm. Examples are limited to the Schrodinger equation to highlight the advantages of spectral and pseudospectral methods
