Inhomogeneous Inflation: Numerical Evolution
arXiv:astro-ph/9306009 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.48.3611
Abstract
We describe our 3-dimensional numerical relativity code for the evolution of inhomogeneous cosmologies. During the evolution the constraint equations are monitored but not solved. The code has been tested against perturbation theory with good results. We present some runs of inhomogeneous inflation with strongly inhomogeneous initial data.
