Description

A class of exact plane symmetric solutions of the Brans-Dicke vacuum field equations is obtained. This class, in the limit ω → infinity, is found to agree with Taub's (Ann. Math.; 53:472 (1951)) class of solutions. It has been observed that the non-static solution belonging to this class represents a plane-fronted wave. (author)
