Notes:
The pseudospectral method is used for the first time to solve the thermohydrodynamic lubrication equations for a slider bearing. The orthogonal polynomials used in the series expansions are Lagrangian interpola nts derived from a Legendre basis. Exponential convergence to exact solutions is demonstrated and favourable comparisons with previous work are made.
