On the linear regime of the characteristic formulation of general relativity in the Minkowski and Schwarzschild's backgrounds

We present here the linear regime of the Einstein${'}$s field equations in the characteristic formulation. Through a simple decomposition of the metric variables in spin-weighted spherical harmonics, the field equations are expressed as a system of coupled ordinary differential equations. The p...
