Foil 26 Coodinate and Foliation Choices in General Relativity

From Numerical Formulation and Solution of Collision 0f two Black Holes CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 One of the fascinating features of Numerical Relativity is the freedom to choose coordinates
  • This can allow equations to be smooth and appropriate for finite differences in one choice and very irregular and requiring adaptive finite element in another choice
  • Choice is called Choice of Gauge:
