Numerical experiments are performed to compare the accuracy obtained when physical and transform space filters are used to smooth the oscillations in Fourier collocation approximations to discontinuous solutions of a linear wave equation. High-order accuracy can be obtained away from a discontinuity but the order is strongly filter dependent. Polynomial order accuracy is demonstrated when smooth high-order Fourier filters are used. Spectral accuracy is obtained with the physical space filter of Gottlieb and Tadmor.
