Abstract

The paper combines theoretical and applied ideas which have been previously considered separately into a single set of evolution equations for Numerical Relativity. New numerical ingredients are presented which avoid gauge pathologies and allow one to perform robust 3D calculations. The potential of the resulting numerical code is demonstrated by using the Schwarzschild black hole as a test-bed. Its evolution can be followed up to times greater than one hundred black hole masses.
