Numerical integration of Einstein’s field equations

Many numerical codes now under development to solve Einstein's equations of general relativity in $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetimes employ the standard ADM form of the field equations. This form involves evolution equations for the raw spatial metric and extrinsic curvature tensors. Following Shibata and Nakamura, we modify these equations by factoring out …
