Abstract

We consider a collapsing sphere and discuss its evolution under the vanishing expansion scalar in the framework of f(R) gravity. The fluid is assumed to be locally anisotropic which evolves adiabatically. To study the dynamics of the collapsing fluid, Newtonian and post Newtonian regimes are taken into account. The field equations are investigated for a well-known f(R) model of the form R+δR 2 admitting Schwarzschild solution. The perturbation scheme is used on the dynamical equations to explore the instability conditions of expansionfree fluid evolution. We conclude that instability conditions depend upon pressure anisotropy, energy density and some constraints arising from this theory.
