I’ve just finished up my second reading of Gustafsson’s, “The convergence rate for difference approximations to mixed initial boundary value problems” and I’m still abit confused. The paper is referenced by (what seems to me) almost everyone and their dog as justification that a finite difference scheme can have one order of convergence less on …

Measurement of Hawking Radiation
Well I thought it hadn’t been done, but apparently it has. Admittedly it’s in an analogue system (of cause) that the authors refer to as a “toy model”. But none-the-less I’m impressed. A direct measurement, even in an analogue system, of Hawking radiation, demonstrates that the semi-classical approach to quantum gravity can produce genuinely interesting …
Apologies
Sorry for being away for so long. I’ve been on holiday for a while. More posts coming once I find where I put those papers. Also my ping and trackbacks don’t seem to be working so I’m just using this to sort it. Using this site to test pingbacks.
