Abstract

In this paper we continue earlier investigations of evolutionary formulations of the Einstein vacuum constraint equations originally introduced by R\'{a}cz. Motivated by the strong evidence from these works that the resulting vacuum initial data sets are generically not asymptotically flat we analyse the asymptotics of the solutions of a modified formulation by a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. We conclude that the vacuum initial data sets generated with this new formulation are generically asymptotically flat.
