Tasks - 07-Aug-2017

Eloisa:

• Set up test cases for space-independent Einstein solutions:
  • Convergence of unigrid - 4th order
  • Convergence of FMR, 2 level, with standard buffer zones. Expect 2nd order error at fixed t (due to order of time interpolation; three points, O(dt^3) local error, O(dt^2) error when integrated up to fixed t)
  • Convergence of FMR, 2 level, without buffer zones, and prolongating on every MoL substep. Expect 1nd order (Carpenter paper).
• Derive k4 if possible

Ian:

• Check we understand all the formulas and the algorithm
• Write out a complete description of what we want to implement

Roland:

• Look at MoL and Carpet and work out what sorts of functions need to be inserted/scheduled/adapted to implement the scheme

Tomorrow we resync, to make sure we all understand all the parts.
