Numerical relativity as a tool for computational astrophysics
1999
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics
The astrophysics of compact objects, which requires Einstein's theory of general relativity for understanding phenomena such as black holes and neutron stars, is attracting increasing attention. In general relativity, gravity is governed by an extremely complex set of coupled, nonlinear, hyperbolic-elliptic partial di erential equations. The largest parallel supercomputers are ÿnally approaching the speed and memory required to solve the complete set of Einstein's equations for the ÿrst time
