Convergence check of the numerical integration routine in PyGRO. In particular, for the same case illustrated in Fig. 13, with r0 = 50M, we compute the difference (left panel) between the known analytical results, Eq. (43) and the results obtained in PyGRO, for different values of the precision and accuracy tolerances (Eq. (6)) that we vary over six orders of magnitude. The plots shows the convergence of the numerical result to the analytical one as the integration tolerances are reduced. Moreover, we compute on the integrated geodesic the norm of the tangent four-vector (right panel) which, following Eq. (3), should be identically zero. The plot reports the amount of constraint violation, which shows convergence to zero as the integration precision is improved, thus validating the numerical routines implemented in PyGRO.
