Measure of complexity for dynamical self-gravitating structures
We consider the definition of complexity for dynamical spherically self-gravitating matter distribution in the presence of heat dissipation introduced by Herrera [L. Herrera, A. Di Prisco and J. Ospino, Phys. Rev. D 98 (2018) 104059] and generalize it in [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the Ricci scalar and the trace of energy–momentum tensor, respectively. We measure the complexity of structure as well as pattern of evolution of the fluid distribution and examine these under the effects of dark source terms of modified gravity. Some dynamical and kinematical equations are observed in the dissipative and nondissipative cases in the background of modified theory. Finally, we discuss evolution of the structure scalars and stability of a condition where the complexity factor vanishes.
