Boundary problem for Tolman-Bondi model is formulated. One-to-one correspondence between singularities hypersurfaces and initial conditions of the Tolman-Bondi model is constructed.
The Bondi formula for calculation of the invariant mass in the Tolman- Bondi (TB) model is interprated as a transformation rule on the set of co-moving coordinates. The general procedure by which the three arbitrary functions of the TB model are dete
rmined explicitly is presented. The properties of the TB model, produced by the transformation rule are studied. Two applications are studied: for the falling TB flat model the equation of motion of two singularities hypersurfaces are obtained; for the expanding TB flat model the dependence of size of area with friedmann-like solution on initial conditions is studied in the limit $t to +infty$.
The Tolman-Bondi (TB) model is defined up to some transformation of a co-moving coordinate but the transformation is not fixed. The use of an arbitrary co-moving system of coordinates leads to the solution dependent on three functions $f, F, {bf F}$
which are chosen independently in applications. The article studies the transformation rule which is given by the definition of an invariant mass. It is shown that the addition of the TB model by the definition of the transformation rule leads to the separation of the couples of functions ($f, F$) into nonintersecting classes. It is shown that every class is characterized only by the dependence of $F$ on $f$ and connected with unique system of co-moving coordinates. It is shown that the Ruban-Chernin system of coordinates corresponds to identical transformation. The dependence of Bonnors solution on the Ruban-Chernin coordinate $M$ by means of initial density and energy distribution is studied. It is shown that the simplest flat solution is reduced to an explicit dependence on the coordinate $M$. Several examples of initial conditions and transformation rules are studied.
This work provides a general discussion of the spatially inhomogeneous Lema^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) cosmology, as well as its basic properties and many useful relevant quantities, such as the cosmological distances. We apply the concept of the single
null geodesic to produce some simple analytical solutions for observational quantities such as the redshift. As an application of the single null geodesic technique, we carry out a fractal approach to the parabolic LTB model, comparing it to the spatially homogeneous Einstein-de Sitter cosmology. The results obtained indicate that the standard model, in this case represented by the Einstein-de Sitter cosmology, can be equivalently described by a fractal distribution of matter, as we found that different single fractal dimensions describe different scale ranges of the parabolic LTB matter distribution. It is shown that at large ranges the parabolic LTB model with fractal dimension equal to 0.5 approximates the matter distribution of the Einstein-de Sitter universe.
The Maxwell electromagnetic theory embedded in an inhomogeneous Lema^{i}tre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) spacetime background was described a few years back in the literature. However, terms concerning the mass or high-derivatives were no explored. In this wor
k we studied the inhomogeneous spacetime effects on high-derivatives and massive electromagnetic models. We used the LTB metric and calculated the physical quantities of interest, namely the scale factor, density of the electromagnetic field and Hubble constant, for the Proca and higher-derivative Podolsky models. We found a new singularity in both models, and that the magnetic field must be zero in the Proca model.
This paper describes the Fortran 77 code SIMU, version 1.1, designed for numerical simulations of observational relations along the past null geodesic in the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) spacetime. SIMU aims at finding scale invariant solutions of the
average density, but due to its full modularity it can be easily adapted to any application which requires LTBs null geodesic solutions. In version 1.1 the numerical output can be read by the GNUPLOT plotting package to produce a fully graphical output, although other plotting routines can be easily adapted. Details of the codes subroutines are discussed, and an example of its output is shown.
