Can anyone recommend a good textbook or article for numerically solving general relativity problems? Say for a planet orbiting a pair of binary stars, or even for the sun and Jupiter in our solar system?
The following is very good, and more worked out than a textbook.exmarine said:Can anyone recommend a good textbook or article for numerically solving general relativity problems? Say for a planet orbiting a pair of binary stars, or even for the sun and Jupiter in our solar system?
Found a much better link, via arxiv, to the same notes:exmarine said:Thanks but my browser (FireFox) refuses to go to that site. Says it is "unsecured" or something. Is there any way you could attach that pdf for me? Thanks!
There are several textbooks available for learning about numerically solving General Relativity problems, but some popular choices include "Numerical Relativity: Solving Einstein's Equations on the Computer" by Thomas W. Baumgarte and Stuart L. Shapiro, and "Numerical Relativity: Starting from Scratch" by Miguel Alcubierre. Both of these textbooks provide a thorough introduction to the numerical methods used in solving GRT problems.
Yes, there are several online articles that provide a good introduction to numerically solving General Relativity problems. Some recommended articles include "Numerical Relativity" by Carlos Sopuerta and "Numerical Relativity: A Practical Guide" by Luis Lehner. These articles provide a good overview of numerical methods used in GRT and also offer practical tips for solving GRT problems.
Some important considerations when choosing a textbook or article for learning about numerically solving GRT problems include the level of mathematical rigor, the clarity of explanations and examples, and the relevance to your specific research interests. It can also be helpful to read reviews or get recommendations from colleagues or experts in the field.
Yes, there are several open-source software tools available for numerically solving General Relativity problems, such as the Einstein Toolkit and the Cactus Framework. These tools provide a user-friendly interface for implementing and solving GRT problems, and also offer support and documentation for beginners.
Yes, there are several online courses and tutorials available for learning about numerically solving General Relativity problems. Some recommended courses include "Introduction to Numerical Relativity" by Kip Thorne on Coursera, and "Numerical Relativity" by Carlos Sopuerta on the Perimeter Institute's online learning platform. These courses provide a structured and comprehensive approach to learning about GRT numerical methods.
