Abstract
Numerical relativity has come a long way in the last three decades and is now reaching a state of maturity. We are gaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental theoretical issues related to the field, from the well posedness of the Cauchy problem, to better gauge conditions, improved boundary treatment, and more realistic initial data. There has also been important work both in numerical methods and software engineering. All these developments have come together to allow the construction of several advanced fully three-dimensional codes capable of dealing with both matter and black holes. In this manuscript I make a brief review the current status of the field.
> what most people would consider to be fundamental Most people should then have it explained to them that frame-dependent quantities are not fundamental. This is something that arises even in their first exposure to Newtonian physics: kinetic energy is just such a…
