Diagonalization of pp-waves
B. V. Ivanov
A coordinate transformation is found which diagonalizes the axisymmetric pp-waves. Its effect upon concrete solutions, including impulsive and shock waves, is discussed.

Colliding plane waves with W=M=0
B. V. Ivanov
It is shown that there are three vacuum and one electrovacuum solutions of diagonal plane waves with M=0 and constant Maxwell scalars. Namely, these are the single wave, Stoyanov,…

Colliding axisymmetric pp-waves
B. V. Ivanov
An exact solution is found describing the collision of axisymmetric pp-waves with M=0. They are impulsive in character and their coordinate singularities become point curvature sin…
