Abstract
By writing the complete set of 3 + 1 (ADM) equations for linearized wa ves, we are able to demonstrate the properties of the initial data and of the evolution of a wave problem set by Alcubierre and Schutz. We s how that the gauge modes and constraint error modes arise in a straigh tforward way in the analysis, and are of a form which will be controll ed in any well specified convergent computational discretization of th e differential equations.
