Adaptive techniques are crucial for successful numerical modeling of gravitational waves from astrophysical sources such as coalescing compact binaries, since the radiation typically has wavelengths much larger than the scale of the…

A method is proposed of obtaining (2+1)-dimensional non- linear equations with non-analytic dispersion relations. Bilocal formalism is shown to make it possible to represent these equations in a form close to that for their counterparts in…

We present a numerically stable system of (3+1) evolution equations for the nonlinear gravitational dynamics of quadratic-curvature corrections to General Relativity (Quadratic Gravity). We also report on the numerical implementation of…

By applying the method of moving frames modelling one and two dimensional local anisotropies we construct new solutions of Einstein equations on pseudo-Riemannian spacetimes. The first class of solutions describes non-trivial deformations…

Motivated by the problem of the evolution of bulk gravitational waves in Randall-Sundrum cosmology, we develop a characteristic numerical scheme to solve 1+1 dimensional wave equations in the presence of a moving timelike boundary. The…

We study the possible existence of a Newtonian regime of gravity in $1+1$ dimensions, considering metrics in both the Kerr-Schild and conformal forms. In the former case, the metric gives the exact solution of the Poisson equation in flat…

New numerical methods have been applied in relativity to obtain a numerical evolution of Einstein equations much more robust and stable. Starting from 3+1 formalism and with the evolution equations written as a FOFCH (first-order flux…

In the harmonic description of general relativity, the principle part of Einstein's equations reduces to 10 curved space wave equations for the componenets of the space-time metric. We present theorems regarding the stability of several…

In many time-harmonic electromagnetic wave problems, the considered geometry exhibits an axial symmetry. In this case, by exploiting a Fourier expansion along the azimuthal direction, fully three-dimensional (3D) calculations can be carried…

This is the second paper in a series describing a numerical implementation of the conformal Einstein equation. This paper deals with the technical details of the numerical code used to perform numerical time evolutions from a "minimal" set…

The fundamental metrics, which describe any static three-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell spacetime (depending only on a unique spacelike coordinate), are found. In this case there are only three independent components of the electromagnetic…

Validating the results of [A.M. Abrahams and C.R. Evans, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2980] poses a numerical challenge and has been inspiring a lot of research. We join these efforts and present our first steps to achieve this goal: we discuss a…

We present a new pseudospectral code, bamps, for numerical relativity written with the evolution of collapsing gravitational waves in mind. We employ the first order generalized harmonic gauge formulation. The relevant theory is reviewed…

This is the first in a series of articles on the numerical solution of Friedrich's conformal field equations for Einstein's theory of gravity. We will discuss in this paper why one should be interested in applying the conformal method to…

The conformal method for constructing initial data for Einstein's equations is presented in both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian picture (extrinsic curvature decomposition and conformal thin sandwich formalism, respectively), and advantages…

We discuss various aspects of the post-Newtonian approximation in general relativity. After presenting the foundation based on the Newtonian limit, we use the (3+1) formalism to formulate the post-Newtonian approximation for the perfect…

A new constraint suppressing formulation of the Einstein evolution equations is presented, generalizing the five-parameter first-order system due to Kidder, Scheel and Teukolsky (KST). The auxiliary fields, introduced to make the KST system…

We consider a complex scalar field minimally coupled to gravity and to a U(1) gauge symmetry and we construct of a first order symmetric hyperbolic evolution system for the Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system. Our analysis is based on a…

Equilibria of binary neutron stars in close circular orbits are computed numerically in a waveless formulation: The full Einstein-relativistic-Euler system is solved on an initial hypersurface to obtain an asymptotically flat form of the…

In this article we give a full description of the dynamics of the flat anisotropic (4+1)-dimensional cosmological model in the presence of both Gauss-Bonnet and Einstein contributions. This is the first complete description of this model…
