Les mA(c)thodes spectrales sont une technique rA(c)cente d'approximation de la solution d'A(c)quations aux dA(c)rivA(c)es partielles par des polynAmes de haut degrA(c). Elles ont un degrA(c) de prA(c)cision infini: l'ordre de l'erreur ne dA(c)pend que de la solution A approcher. Leur utilisation s'est A(c)normA(c)ment dA(c)veloppA(c)e ces derniA]res annA(c)es.
