Abstract:
I will describe general relativity from a numerical perspective. This
will include formulations for an initial value problem, gauge
conditions, constraints, boundary conditions, singularities, horizons,
discrete stability, and related topics. The astrophysics and cosmology
community which is using numerical methods to solve the Einstein
equations has assembled a host of techniques that deserve to be
presented to others (and their criticism and ideas).
