Numerical simulations of gravitational collapse
In this thesis we present a numerical study of gravitational collapse, within the framework of Einstein's theory of general relativity. We restrict our attention to spacetimes possessing axial symmetry, and incorporate a massless scalar field as the matter source. Our primary objectives are...
