Discontinuous Galerkin method for the spherically reduced BSSN system with second-order operators
arXiv:1008.1820 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.82.104051
Abstract
We present a high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin method for evolving the spherically-reduced Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) system expressed in terms of second-order spatial operators. Our multi-domain method achieves global spectral accuracy and long-time stability on short computational domains. We discuss in detail both our scheme for the BSSN system and its implementation. After a theoretical and computational verification of the proposed scheme, we conclude with a brief discussion of issues likely to arise when one considers the full BSSN system.
