Shock wave interactions in general relativity a locally intertial glimm scheme for spherically symmetric spacetimes

This monograph presents a self contained mathematical treatment of the initial value problem for shock wave solutions of the Einstein equations in General Relativity. The first two chapters provide background for the introduction of a locally intertial Glimm Scheme, a non-dissipative numerical schem...
