Classically, to solve differential equation problems, it is necessary to specify sufficient initial and/or boundary conditions so as to allow the existence of a unique solution. Well-posedness of differential equation problems thus involves…

We investigate the relevance of the conformal method by investigating stability issues for the Einstein-Lichnerowicz conformal constraint system in a nonlinear scalar-field setting. We prove the stability of the system with respect to…
