When we deal with the problems of gravitational collapse, we should determine an event horizon in order to know whether a black hole is formed or not. It is possible to determine the event horizon when the global structure of the space-time is known. However, in the numerical calculation of the general relativistic collapse of an axially symmetric star we need too many core memories to determine the event horizon because we should know the values of the metric tensors at any space-time points. On the other hand, an apparent horizon can be determined if the first and the second fundamental forms of t=const spacelike hypersurface (Z (t)) are known. So in numerical calculations, it is more practical to determine an apparent horizon which always exists inside an event horizon than to determine an event horizon. An apparent horizon is a marginally trapped surface on which the outgoing orthogonal null geodesics have zero expansion,u
