Abstract

The minimal prolongation structure for the Robinson-Trautman equations of Petrov type III is shown to always include the infinite-dimensional, contragredient algebra, K2, which is of infinite growth. Knowledge of faithful representations of this algebra would allow the determination of Bäcklund transformations to evolve new solutions.
