Towards a singularity-proof scheme in numerical relativity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Progress in numerical relativity has been hindered for 30 years because of the difficulties of avoiding spacetime singularities in numerical evolution. We propose a scheme which excises a region inside an apparent horizon containing the singularity. Two major ingredients of the scheme are the use of a horizon-locking coordinate and a finite differencing which respects the causal structure of the spacetime. Encouraging results of the scheme in the spherical collapse case are given.

We introduce a class of singular partial differential equations, the second-order hyperbolic Fuchsian systems, and we investigate the associated initial value problem when data are imposed on the singularity. First of all, we analyze a class of equations in which hyperbolicity is not assumed and we construct asymptotic solutions of arbitrary order. Second, for the proposed class of second-order...

متن کاملA Third-degree B-spline Collocation Scheme for Solving a Class of the Nonlinear Lane–-Emden Type Equations
In this paper, we use a numerical method involving collocation method with third B-splines as basis functions for solving a class of singular initial value problems (IVPs) of Lane--Emden type equation. The original differential equation is modified at the point of singularity. The modified problem is then treated by using B-spline approximation. In the case of non-linear problems, we first line...
متن کاملA new security proof for FMNV continuous non-malleable encoding scheme
A non-malleable code is a variant of an encoding scheme which is resilient to tampering attacks. The main idea behind non-malleable coding is that the adversary should not be able to obtain any valuable information about the message. Non-malleable codes are used in tamper-resilient cryptography and protecting memories against tampering attacks. Many different types of non-malleability have alre...
متن کاملDealing with the center and boundary problems in 1D Numerical Relativity
Instabilities in finite difference codes due to the singularity of spherical coordinates at the center are studied. In typical Numerical Relativity applications, standard regularization techniques by themselves do not ensure long term stability. A proposal to remedy that problem is presented, which takes advantage of redundant quantities introduced in recent hyperbolic formulations of Einstein’...
