Abstract

We explore numerically the evolution of a collapsing spherical shell of a charged, massless scalar field. We obtain an external Reissner-Nordström space-time, and an inner space-time that is bounded by a singularity on the Cauchy horizon. We compare these results with previous analyses and discuss some of the numerical problems encountered.
