Abstract
We report a numerical evolution of axisymmetric Brill waves. The numerical algorithm has new features, including (i) a method for keeping the metric r egular on the axis and (ii) the use of coordinates that bring spatial infin ity to the edge of the computational grid. The dependence of the evolved me tric on both the amplitude and shape of the initial data is found.
