Abstract
For a dust‐filled space–time possessing cylindrical symmetry, the field equations form an underdetermined set. As demonstrated by King [Commun. Math. Phys. 38, 157 (1974)], by carefully selecting a function it is possible to generate solutions which are either well‐behaved or are characterized by one of a number of different types of singularity. The three particular choices for the functions we take produce two nonsingular solutions and one with a Weyl singularity.Keywords
