✦ Synopsis

In the previous work I and II, we have obtained a class of exact solutions for the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory for Einstein-Rosen nonstatic cylindrically symmetric metric when only scalar field is present and then in presence of source-free electromagnetic field. In the present work we have developed a more general sets of solutions from those given in I and II under the unit transformation by Morganstern [Phys. Rev. D 3 (1971), 29461. These have been found to be the solutions of the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory for the most general cylindrically symmetric metric of Marder.
