A dissipative algorithm for wave-like equations in the characteristic formulation

Luis Lehner

We present a dissipative algorithm for solving nonlinear wave-like equations when the initial data is specified on characteristic surfaces. The dissipative properties built in this…

An Exact Universal Gravitational Lensing Equation

Simonetta Frittelli, Ezra T. Newman

We first define what we mean by gravitational lensing equations in a general space-time. A set of exact relations are then derived that can be used as the gravitational lens equati…

Null Cones in Schwarzschild Geometry

Thomas P. Kling, Ezra T. Newman

Light cones of Schwarzschild geometry are studied in connection to the Null Surface Formulation and gravitational lensing. The paper studies the light cone cut function's singulari…

Characteristic Surface Data for the Eikonal Equation

Ezra T. Newman, Alejandro Perez

A method of solving the eikonal equation, in either flat or curved space-times, with arbitrary Cauchy data, is extended to the case of data given on a characteristic surface. We fi…

The Eikonal Equation in Flat Space: Null Surfaces and Their Singularities I

S. Frittelli, E. T. Newman, G. Silva-Ortigoza

The level surfaces of solutions to the eikonal equation define null or characteristic surfaces. In this note we study, in Minkowski space, properties of these surfaces. In particul…

Exact Solutions for the Intrinsic Geometry of Black Hole Coalescence

Luis Lehner, Nigel T. Bishop, Roberto Gómez +2

We describe the null geometry of a multiple black hole event horizon in terms of a conformal rescaling of a flat space null hypersurface. For the prolate spheroidal case, we show t…
