Naked strong curvature singularities in Szekeres space-times

We investigate the occurrence and nature of naked singularities in the Szekeres space-times. These space-times represent irrotational dust. They do not have any Killing vectors and they are generalisations of the Tolman-Bondi-Lemaitre space-times. It is shown that in these space-times there exist naked singularities that satisfy both the limiting focusing condition and the strong limiting focusing condition. The implications of this result for the cosmic censorship hypothesis are discussed.
