Generalised Robinson-Trautman and Kundt waves and their physical interpretation.

In this thesis, Newman-Penrose techniques are used to obtain some new exact solutions to Einstein's field equations of general relativity and to assist in the physical interpretation of some exact radiative space-times. Attention is restricted to algebraically special space-times with a twist-f...
