    I Numerical Solution of Complex Systems in GR

    Please help me confirm that I understand this correctly. Imagine a system comprised of two black holes orbiting each other, which will eventually merge. At any point in time we describe the stress-energy tensor of the system. Assume that we could solve the EFE's for every point (t,x,y,z). This...

    A Error for perturbed solution vs Numeric

    Hi PF! I'm solving an PDE where the analytic solution is called ##F(x)## (unknown). To approximate the analytic solution I made a naive expansion in some small parameter ##\epsilon## such that ##F(x) = f_0(x)+\epsilon f_1(x)+O(\epsilon^2)##, where I know ##f_0(x)## and ##f_1(x)##. I then...
