Abstract
Several of the known solutions of the Einstein field equations are re-examined and it is shown that these solutions are special cases of more general solutions of the field equations. The explicit solution of the field equations in terms of known functions is also found for the case of Volkoff's massive spheres. In the last section of this paper a mathematical procedure for generating solutions of the field equations is outlined.Keywords
