Abstract
In physical problems it often happens that from one solution others can be obtained by simple transformations. When comparing different stellar models that are calculated under similar assumptions (concerning parameters or material functions), one therefore expects to find similarities in the solutions. It would be very helpful if we could find simple analytic expressions that transform one solution into another. It would then only be necessary to produce one numerical solution in order to find new ones by a transformation.
