Detailed Description

Control error in the 3D CubicScale coordinate map.

Details

Computes the error in the map parameter \(a(t)\) using Eq. (40) from [140] (see CubicScale for a definition of \(a(t)\)). The equation is

\begin{align} \delta a &= a\left( \frac{\vec{X}\cdot\vec{C}}{||\vec{C}||^2} - 1 \right) \\ \delta a &= a\left( \frac{X_0}{C_0} - 1 \right) \end{align}

where \(\vec{X} = \vec{x}_A - \vec{x}_B\) and \(\vec{C} = \vec{c}_A - \vec{c}_B\). Here, object A is located on the positive x-axis and object B is located on the negative x-axis, \(\vec{X}\) is the difference in positions of the centers of the mapped objects, and \(\vec{C}\) is the difference of the centers of the excision spheres, all in the grid frame. It is assumed that the positions of the excision spheres are exactly along the x-axis, which is why we were able to make the simplification in the second line above.

Requirements:

  • This control error requires that there be exactly two objects in the simulation
  • Currently both these objects must be black holes
  • Currently this control system can only be used with the Expansion control system
