Abstract

Approximate solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equations in the type N, twisting and diverging case are investigated. In this context, it is shown that the field equation determines a function of integration at any order and so can be satisfied. The field equation and other conditions for solutions to be type N are explicitly shown to have a first- and second-order approximate solution which is non-singular. It is argued that an approximate solution at any finite order can be calculated without the occurrence of singularities.
