Abstract
We use rigorous techniques from numerical analysis of hyperbolic equations in bounded domains to construct stable finite-difference schemes for Numerical Relativity, in particular for their use in black hole excision. As an application, we present 3D simulations of a scalar field propagating in a Schwarzschild black hole background.
