4.5 Computer quiz
- For an efficient FFT, the size of the arrays to be transformed must be
- a multiple of 2
- a power of 2
- a prime number
- The linear solution computed for the advection-diffusion equation
- converges linearly to the physical value
- converges quadratically to the physical value
- converges faster than any polynomial to the physical value
- is exact
- Compared with Fourier schemes, aliases in finite differences are
- never a problem (they do not exist)
- rarely a problem (short wavelengths numerically damped by spatial operators)
- as much a problem
