Abstract
A generalization of Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics, due to Plebanski, is reformulated in the context of general relativity theory. A class of nonsingular, static, spherically symmetric solutions of the modified Einstein—Maxwell equations are given, corresponding to a point-charge source. The metric tensors of these solutions are shown to approach the Riesner-Nordstrom metric tensor at large distances from the source, if one makes the proper identification of mass.Keywords
