Numerical Relativity

(Received September 2, 1981)

Abstract:

The recent development in Numerical Relativity is reviewed. Important problems which numerical relativity should treat are 1) the final structure of space-time, 2) generation of gravitational waves, 3) supernova explosions, 4) formation of supermassive black holes and 5) cosmology. The present status on each problem is discussed in §1. In §2, various formalisms of the Einstein equations, coordinate conditions and numerical methods are compared. In §3, numerical examples of collapse of rotating stars are shown.
