Abstract
In this, the first of a series of papers on numerical relativity, the characteristic initial value problem is posed in a form suitable for numerical integration. It can be reduced to the solution of two initial value problems for sets of ordinary differential equations (on the initial surfaces) and the solution of two initial value problems for hyperbolic systems of equations, one linear, one quasilinear. The initial data may be specified freely. Subsequent papers will develop numerical solutions of Einstein’s equations with use of this formalism.
