Starting with a very general form of the nonsymmetric tensor g/sub ik/ expressed in a coordinate system chosen to yield wave solutions, a scheme is developed for deriving rigorous solutions of Einstein field equations, which solutions describe the flow of unified gravitational and electromagnetic radiation. Several solutions are derived, giving waves with two-dimensional symmetry. It is found that solutions describing gravitational and electromagnetic waves, obtained in the general theory of relativity with the help of an energy momentum tensor, can be derived in exactly the same form from the geometrical theory of the unified law of inertia.
