The characteristic initial value problem for colliding plane waves: the linear case

The physical situation of the collision and subsequent interaction of plane gravitational waves in a Minkowski background gives rise to a well-posed characteristic initial value problem in which initial data are specified on the two null characteristics that define the wavefronts. In this paper, we...
