Application of the Galerkin method to the problem of stellar stability, gravitational collapse and black hole formation

arXiv:astro-ph/9807316

Abstract

Approximate approach based on the Galerkin method is suggested for the investigation of equilibrium stellar models, a relativistic collapse problem and black hole formation. Some results of its simplified version - energetic method- are reviewed, and equations for general Gelerkin method are presented.
