Abstract
Gravitational lensing is a natural phenomenon often used in the study of dark matter. Numerical studies of gravitational lensing often make use of the Fast Fourier Transform to relate mass density and image distortions. However, such convolution calculations have undesired effects on their results that must be understood and corrected. Two mass density models are presented here to demonstrate such inaccuracies.
David Coss is currently perusing a Doctorate in Physics from University of Missouri - St Louis. His field of interest is gravitational lensing and its use in studying dark matter.
