Gravitational collapse in f(R) theories of gravity with non-minimal coupling
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the perfect fluid gravitational collapse in modified f(R) metric gravity theories with non-minimal curvature coupled to matter. For this inference, we investigate the effects on self-gravitating implosion with spherically symmetric non-static geometry in the presence of extra force [Formula: see text], that express the cosmic expansion with dark source constraints. Matching conditions are given in which we have taken the insertion of non-static interior and static exterior regions along with cosmological constant. We have investigated the apparent horizons with effective results and along with their physical interpretation. It is analyzed that the extra component of dark source material reduces the gravitating implosion, hence slowing the rate of collapse. This study also reflects the contribution towards the perfect fluid for the generalization in f(R) gravity with zero coupling constant [Formula: see text].
