Abstract
In this paper, following recent results on generalized Vaidya solutions by Wang, we prove that under certain conditions on generalized mass function, strong curvature naked singularities exist in radiation collapse in monopole-Vaidya space-times and also in charged-Vaidya space-times. We thus unify and generalize results of Dwivedi-Joshi and Lake-Zannias. The general case also covers de Sitter-Vaidya space-time recently treated by Wagh-Maharaj with a view to study existence of naked singularities.
