How to determine approximate Mixmaster parameters from numerical evolution of Einstein's equations

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

To assess the validity of the Belinskii, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz (BKL) approximation to Mixmaster dynamics, it would be useful to evaluate the BKL discrete parameters as a byproduct of the numerical solution of Einstein's equations. An algorithm to do this and results for a typical trajectory are presented.
