Abstract

In order to perform accurate and stable long-term numerical calculations, we con- struct new sets of ADM and BSSN evolution equations by adjusting constraints to their right-hand-sides. We apply a method suggested by Fiske (2004), which adds functional derivative of the norm of constraints, C 2. We derive their constraint prop- Agation equations (evolution equations of constraints) in at spacetime, which show that C2 itself evolve decaying. We also perform numerical tests with the polarized Gowdy-wave testbed, and show that the constraint-damping appears. The life-times of the standard ADM and BSSN simulations are improved as about twice as longer.
