Expanding impulsive gravitational waves

We demonstrate explicitly that the known solutions for expanding impulsive spherical gravitational waves that have been obtained by a 'cut and paste' method may be considered to be impulsive limits of the Robinson-Trautman vacuum type-N solutions. We extend these results to all the generic...
