Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Development of the theory and methods of numerical relativity, including a short introduction to Einstein equations, their space-plus-time (3+1) decomposition for numerical purposes, issues of numerical stability and reformulations of the 3+1 equations, and applications. The applications will focus on black-hole spacetimes.Attendance (in parallel) of the course `General Theory of Relativity and Cosmology' (former `Relativity and Cosmology II' or Rela II) is strongly encouraged.
Assessment and permitted materials
Oral exam (online). Partial assignments, voluntary homework exercises, count as extra points on the exam (up to 10%).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Exam questions will concern topics discussed in the lecture.Minimum requirements: familiarity with basic concepts and techniques of numerical relativity, with an emphasis on black-hole spacetimes.Grading key:
