We present in this paper a unified framework for analyzing the spectral methods in unbounded domains using mapped Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite functions. A detailed comparison of the convergence rates of these spectral methods for solutions with typical decay behaviors is carried out, both theoretically and computationally. A brief review on some of the recent advances in the spectral methods for unbounded domains is also presented.
