Ponce de Leon, J

A number of exact solutions for spherically symmetric nonstatic fluids of uniform density, surrounded by empty space, are derived and investigated. Solutions that represent expanding and contracting spheres, which tend asymptotically to static configurations described by the Schwarzschild interior solution ( rho = const), are obtained In some cases the motion of contraction or expansion is reversed, while in other cases there is no bouncing at all. Oscillating solutions are presented.
