Abstract
Various numerical methods for solutions of Einstein equations are presented and discussed. The numerical schemes are classified according to the equations (evolution versus constraint) solved and according to the coordinate conditions used. The numerical methods are compared by using them to study systems with cylindrical symmetry for vacuum (Einstein-Rosen waves), matter collapse, and cosmology (perturbation of Friedmann Universe).
