Popis: Nonsymmetric terms or angle-dependent terms in the power series expansion of Einstein's equations are considered. It is shown, first, that they do not influence the time evolution of the symmetric terms and, second, that they do not remain bounded as the cylinder collapses. However, the major contribution to the density arising from the symmetric terms makes the nonsymmetric contribution progressively more insignificant as the collapse proceeds.
