Relativistic dust disks and the Wilson-Mathews approach
Willy Kley, Gerhard Schaefer
Abstract
Treating problems in full general relativity is highly complex and frequently approximate methods are employed to simplify the solution. We present comparative solutions of a infinitesimally thin relativistic, stationary, rigidly rotating disk obtained using the full equations and the approximate approach suggested by Wilson & Mathews. We find that the Wilson-Mathews method has about the same accuracy as the first post-Newtonian approximation.
