We show that the spacetimes of domain wall solutions to the coupled Einstein-scalar field equations with a given scalar field potential fall into two classes, depending on whether or not reflection symmetry on the wall is imposed. Solutions…

Cosmological galaxy formation simulations are powerful tools to understand the complex processes that govern the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, evaluating the realism of these simulations remains a challenge. The two common…

In the context of the recently developed "equation-free" approach to the computer-assisted analysis of complex systems, we illustrate the computation of coarsely self-similar solutions. Dynamic renormalization and fixed point algorithms for…
