| Mar 23, 2016 at 16:35 | comment | added | AGML | @RoySimpson Equal mass binary black holes are simulated quite routinely and do not appear to be chaotic; i.e. running the same initial conditions on different processors, or slightly different initial conditions, does not give wildly different results. In the case of very different masses this is less clear. | |
| Jan 23, 2011 at 23:31 | comment | added | Lawrence B. Crowell | In a related manner I did some calculations related to this a couple of years ago. General relativity amplifies chaos. More to the point general relativity amplifies Lyapunov exponents. If there is a relativistic orbiting body, similar to Mercury, and another planet further out. The Newtonian case is chaotic, but with one of the planets general relativistic the chaotic dynamics is amplified. | |
| Jan 23, 2011 at 20:39 | comment | added | Roy Simpson | actually this result makes me think of a conjecture I have been forming recently that the behaviour of a two body system (approx equal mass) in General Relativity is essentially a Chaotic Problem (evolution depends precisely on initial conditions). | |
