Generating potentials via difference equations

Abstract: The condition for pressure isotropy, for spherically symmetric gravitational fields with charged and uncharged matter, is reduced to a recurrence equation with variable, rational coefficients. This difference equation is solved in general using mathematical induction leading to an exact solution to the Einstein field equations which extends the isotropic model of John and Maharaj. The metric functions, energy density and pressure are well behaved which suggests that this model could be used to describe a relat… Show more

“…Schwarzschild's solution also has been charged by Banerjee and Som (1981), Cohen et al (1969), Grøn (1985), Gupta et al (1986), Florides (1983), Guilfoyle (1999) and Gupta and Kumar (2005a). In this context the work by Maharaj and Komathiraj (2007a, 2007b, 2008, Maharaj and Thirukkanesh (2006a, 2006b, 2009), Maharaj and Hansraj (2006c), may also be visited.…”

“…This does not include the anisotropic fluid distributions. Then entry of the Nordstrom's metric describing the gravitational field of charged fluid, provided an open way to the flood of charge analogues of the neutral solutions obtained so far (Ivanov 2002;Gupta and Gupta 1986;Gupta andKumar 2005a, 2005b;Bijalwan and Gupta 2008;Gupta and Maurya 2010a;Gupta et al 2010;Pant et al 2010b;Zanchin 2010a, 2010b;Sharif and Abbas 2010;Maharaj and Komathiraj 2007a, 2007bMaharaj and Thirukkanesh 2006a, 2006b, 2009Maharaj and Hansraj 2006). The utility of charge fluids is mainly because of the fact that the presence of charge averts the gravitational collapse of the material ball to a point singularity (Krasinski 1997).…”

“…In recent years researchers have attempted to introduce a systematic approach to finding solutions to the field equations. Maharaj and Leach [12] generalised the Tikekar superdense star, Thirukkanesh and Maharaj [13] generalised the Durgapal and Bannerji neutron star and Maharaj and Thirukkanesh [14] generalised the John and Maharaj [15] model. These new classes of models were obtained by reducing the condition of pressure isotropy to a recurrence relation with real and rational coefficients which could be solved by mathematical induction, leading to new mathematical and physical insights in the Einstein-Maxwell field equations.…”
