Abstract

An expanding spherically symmetric dust cloud is considered in a framework of general relativity. Initial conditions leading to a shell-crossing singularity are chosen. The way to construct a week solution for such a case is proposed. Suggested method consists in cutting off the region containing the shell-crossing and matching the remaining parts of space-time at a thin shell. Junction conditions determine the motion of that thin shell. The singular part of dust stress-energy tensor is nontrivial only after the shell-crossing occurs. Before that the solution coincides with Lemaitre Tolman-Bondi one. A toy model representing an underdensed region in Universe is discussed.
