Einstein's system of equations in the ADM decomposition involves two subsystems of equations: evolution equations and constraint equations. For numerical relativity, one typically solves the constraint equations only on the initial time…

The three dimensional cubic defocusing nonlinear wave equation is known to be ill-posed for general low regularity initial data. However, well-posedness can be recovered globally in time on a probabilistic level when considering random…

We show that with a small modification, the formulation of the Einstein equations of Uggla et al, which uses tetrad variables normalised by the expansion, is a mixed symmetric hyperbolic/parabolic system. Well-posedness of the Cauchy…

The indefinite sign of the Hamiltonian constraint means that solutions to Einstein's equations must achieve a delicate balance--often among numerically large terms that nearly cancel. If numerical errors cause a violation of the Hamiltonian…

In a recent result of Gerard-Varet and Dormy [5], they established ill-posedness for the Cauchy problem of the linearized Prandtl equation around non-monotic special solution which is independent of x and satisfies the heat equation. In [6]…

A particular case of initial data for the two-dimensional Euler equations is studied numerically. The results show that the Godunov method does not always converge to the physical solution, at least not on feasible grids. Moreover, they…
