Computational techniques for the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
In order to apply the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner canonical formulation of general relativity to the study of systems involving material sources, a particular set of coordinate conditions and a stipulated initial absence of gravitational radiation are applied to the reduction on the initial hypersurface of the constraint equations, determining equations for the lapse and shift functions, and evolution equations to forms that are sufficiently tractable for practical computations.
