Predictably the papers answer is no. Why? Because current numerical methods in general relativity are limited. The paper implies that these limitations are Inability to compute global solutions Inability to evolve initial data for strongly gravitating and very dynamic systems. In any case Friedrich then divides the field equations to four classes the system of …

Numerical treatment of the hyperboloidal initial value problem for the vacuum Einstein equations. I. The conformal field equations.
It a long title for a small paper that provides a decent overview. I’ll be honest, I’m struggling to get a grip on the PDE side of GR. Oh I don’t have much of a problem with the notation, the concepts, or the methods. What I do have a problem with is the motivation. I …
