Constrained evolution in axisymmetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the Einstein equations in axisymmetric vacuum spacetimes. We consider numerical evolution schemes that solve the constraint equations as well as elliptic gauge conditions at each time step. We examine two such schemes that have been proposed in the literature and show that some of their elliptic equations are indefinite, thus potentially admitting nonunique solutions and causing numerical solvers based on classical relaxation methods to fail. A new scheme is then presented that does not suffer from these problems. We use our numerical implementation to study the gravitational collapse of Brill waves. A highly prolate wave is shown to form a black hole rather than a naked singularity. PACS numbers: 04.25.D−, 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Ex, 04.25.dc (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version)

Optimization of the Prismatic Core Sandwich Panel under Buckling Load and Yield Stress Constraints using an Improved Constrained Differential Evolution Algorithm
In this study, weight optimization of the prismatic core sandwich panel under transverse and longitudinal loadings has been independently investigated. To solve the optimization problems corresponding to the mentioned loadings, a new Improved Constrained Differential Evolution (ICDE) algorithm based on the multi-objective constraint handling method is implemented. The constraints of the problem...

Nonlinear constrained programing problem (NCPP) has been arisen in diverse range of sciences such as portfolio, economic management etc.. In this paper, a multiobjective imperialist competitive evolutionary algorithm for solving NCPP is proposed. Firstly, we transform the NCPP into a biobjective optimization problem. Secondly, in order to improve the diversity of evolution country swarm, and he...

Shaping bipolar Planetary Nebulae : How mass loss leads to waistline development. ABSTRACT Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars generally have spherically symmetric envelopes, whereas most post-AGB stars and Planetary Nebulae (PNe) show ax-isymmetric circumstellar envelopes. While various mechanisms for axisymmetric circumstellar structures may explain the shapes of PNe, they do not address how ...

A constrained version of the Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm for the efficient solution of the optimal reservoir operation problems is proposed in this paper. Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic population-based algorithm that relies on one of the theories of the evolution of universe namely, the Big Bang and Big Crunch theory. An improved formulation of the algorithm na...
