Abstract This paper deals with the pseudospectral solution of differential equations with coordinate singularities such as those which describe situations in spherical or cylindrical geometries. We use the differential equation, together with a smoothness assumption on the solution, to construct "pole conditions." The pole conditions, which are straightforward and easily implemented, serve as numerical boundary conditions at the coordinate singularity. Standard pseudospectral methods, including…

Convergence Analysis of Spectral Collocation Methods for a Singular Differential Equation
TLDR
This paper considers an existing approach, which uses a pole condition as the boundary condition at a singularity and solves the reformulated boundary value problem with a commonly used Gauss--Lobatto collocation scheme.
A Pseudospectral Approach for Polar and Spherical Geometries
TLDR
Viewing pseudospectral methods as a limiting case of finite difference methods (rather than as based on expansions in terms of orthogonal functions) leads naturally to very simple, yet highly effective, fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based pseudospecting methods in such geometries.

Application of the pseudo-spectral method to 2D eigenvalue problems in elasticity
TLDR
A pseudo-spectral approach to 2D vibrational problems arising in linear elasticity is considerede using differentiation matrices and it is shown that it is necessary to apply an additional "pole" condition to deal with ther=0 coordinate singularity arising in the case of a 2D disc.
