Abstract
A full derivation is given of that one parameter family of type N twisting gravitational fields which was previously reported by the author. Explicit forms of this solution are obtained, and the coordinate ranges are specified for all possible cases. The general problem of the search for other type N twisting gravitational fields is also discussed; the differential equations required for that search are derived, and the extension of these equations to type (3,1) is given without derivation.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
