Author:Mongwane, Bishop; Dunsby, Peter K S; Osano, Otieno BobDate:2012We use non-linear gauge-invariant perturbation theory to study the interaction of an inflation produced seed magnetic field with density and gravitational wave perturbations in an almost Friedmann-Lemaˆıtre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime ...Read more
Author:Mongwane, BishopDate:2015A generic feature of most inflationary scenarios is the generation of primordial perturbations. Ordinarily, such perturbations can interact with a weak magnetic field in a plasma, resulting in a wide range of phenomena, such as the parametric ...Read more
Author:Masetlwa, NkosinathiDate:2021This thesis investigates numerical instabilities arising from stiffness in the models of nonrotating, spherically symmetric single neutron star systems. The work deals with two distinct problems, each of which involves a stiff system of ...Read more
