Figure 10: Comparison between typical results of the PS and CI codes for various brane quantities (left); and the typical behaviour of the bulk master variable (right) as calculated by the CI method. Very good agreement between the two different numerical schemes is seen in the left panel, despite the fact that they use different initial conditions. Also note that on subhorizon scales, Δ and ζ undergo simple harmonic oscillations, which is consistent with the behaviour in GR. The bulk profile demonstrates our choice of initial conditions: We see that the bulk master variable Ω is essentially zero during the early stages of the simulation, and only becomes “large” when the mode crosses the horizon.
