Einstein's equations (general structure, canonical formalism, Cauchy problems) (83C05)

Abstract: In the harmonic description of general relativity, the principle part of Einstein equations reduces to a constrained system of 10 curved space wave equations for the components of the space-time metric. We use the pseudo-differential theory of systems which are well-posed in the generalized sense to establish the well-posedness of constraint preserving boundary conditions for this system when treated in second order differential form. The boundary conditions are of a generalized Sommerfeld type that is benevolent for numerical calculation.
