Multidomain Galerkin-Collocation method: characteristic spherical collapse of scalar fields
arXiv:2009.00115 · doi:10.1007/s10714-021-02815-1
Abstract
We initiate a systematic implementation of the spectral domain decomposition technique with the Galerkin-Collocation (GC) method in situations of interest such as the spherical collapse of a scalar field in the characteristic formulation. We discuss the transmission conditions at the interface of contiguous subdomains that are crucial for the domain decomposition technique for hyperbolic problems. We implemented codes with an arbitrary number of subdomains, and after validating them, we applied to the problem of critical collapse. With a modest resolution, we obtain the Choptuik's scaling law and its oscillatory component due to the discrete self-similarity of the critical solution.
