Foil 23 Structure of Einstein's Equations in Initial Formulation

From Numerical Formulation and Solution of Collision 0f two Black Holes CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
There are 10 dynamical equations for 6 independent components of q ij
  • 4 of these are elliptic constraint equations which must be satisfied by initial data -- analogous to initial conditions on positions and velocities in Newton's equations.
  • 6 of the equations are true dynamical equations describing time evolution of the q ij
