We study the behavior of Lagrangian perturbative solutions. For a spherical void model, the higher order the Lagrangian perturbation we consider, the worse the approximation becomes in late-time evolution. In particular, if we stop to…
We compare relativistic approximation methods, which describe gravitational instability in the expanding universe, in a spherically symmetric model. Linear perturbation theory, second-order perturbation theory, relativistic Zel'dovich…
Among several analytic approximations for the growth of density fluctuations in the expanding Universe, Zel'dovich approximation in Lagrangian coordinate scheme is known to be unusually accurate even in mildly non-linear regime. This…
This paper deals with the time evolution in the matter era of perturbations in Friedman-Lemaitre models with arbitrary density parameter $\Omega$, with either a zero cosmological constant, $\Lambda = 0$, or with a non-zero cosmological…
Approximations to the exact solutions for gravitational instability in the expanding Universe are extremely useful for understanding the evolution of large--scale structure. We report on a series of tests of Newtonian Lagrangian…
We compare analytical predictions of void volume functions to those measured from N-body simulations, detecting voids with the zobov void finder. We push to very small, nonlinear voids, below few Mpc radius, by considering the unsampled DM…
We present high--spatial resolution studies of the density field as predicted by Lagrangian perturbation approximations up to the third order. The first--order approximation is equivalent to the ``Zel'dovich approximation'' for the type of…
Among various analytic approximations for the growth of density fluctuations in the expanding Universe, Zel'dovich approximation and its extensions in Lagrangian scheme are known to be accurate even in mildly non-linear regime. The aim of…
Many recent studies have highlighted certain failures of the standard Eulerian-space cosmological perturbation theory (SPT). Its problems include (1) not capturing large-scale bulk flows [leading to an O(1) error in the 1-loop SPT…
Simulations have become an indispensable tool for accurate modelling of observables measured in galaxy surveys, but can be expensive if very large dynamic range in scale is required. We describe how to combine Lagrangian perturbation theory…
We compare different nonlinear approximations to gravitational clustering in the weakly nonlinear regime, using as a comparative statistic the evolution of non-Gaussianity which can be characterised by a set of numbers $S_p$ describing…
We propose a new definition of cosmic voids based on methods of Lagrangian orbit reconstruction as well as an algorithm to find them in actual data called DIVA. Our technique is intended to yield results which can be modeled sufficiently…
We report on a series of tests of Newtonian Lagrangian perturbation schemes using N--body simulations for various power--spectra with scale--independent indices in the range $-3$ to $+1$. The models have been evolved deeply into the…
We present a simple and intuitive approximation for solving perturbation theory (PT) of small cosmic fluctuations. We consider only the spherically symmetric or monopole contribution to the PT integrals, which yields the exact result for…
We investigate the performance of the optimized Post-Zel'dovich approximation in three cold dark matter cosmologies. We consider two flat models with $\Omega_0=1$ (SCDM) and with $\Omega_0=0.3$ ($\Lambda$CDM) and an open model with…
We present a method for reconstructing cosmological densityn for and velocity fields using the Lagrangian Zel'dovich formalism. . The method involves finding the least action solution for straight line particle paths in an evolving density…
The gravitational instability of inhomogeneities in the expanding universe is studied by the relativistic second-order approximation. Using the tetrad formalism we consider irrotational dust universes and get equations very similar to those…
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yakov Zel'dovich. Amongst his many legacies is the Zel'dovich approximation for the growth of large-scale structure, which remains one of the most successful and insightful analytic…
Using a Green's function approach, we compare the trajectories of classical Hamiltonian point particles in an expanding space-time to the effectively inertial trajectories in the Zel'dovich approximation. It is shown that the effective…
Nonlinear approximation methods such as the Zeldovich approximation, and more recently the frozen flow and linear potential approximations, are sometimes used to simulate nonlinear gravitational instability in the expanding Universe. We…
